Yes — Doritos Mild Salsa 300g is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains industrial additives/ingredients such as modified maize starch (a chemically modified starch used as a thickener/stabilizer) and capsicum extract (an isolated extract used for standardized flavor/heat). The presence of these UPF ingredients makes the overall product UPF according to NOVA, even though many other ingredients (tomato purée, chopped tomatoes, onion, peppers, vinegar, salt, sugar, garlic purée, coriander) are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.
