Yes — Super Noodles is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Super Noodles are ultra-processed because they contain several industrial additives and formulations, including maltodextrin, flavourings (containing milk), yeast extract, flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate and disodium 5'-ribonucleotides), and thickener (guar gum). They also contain palm oil, a highly processed refined oil, plus smoke flavourings and black pepper extract. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation characteristic of NOVA category 4 ultra-processed foods.
Other ready meals Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Super Noodles is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Super Noodles are ultra-processed because they contain several industrial additives and formulations, including maltodextrin, flavourings (containing milk), yeast extract, flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate and disodium 5'-ribonucleotides), and thickener (guar gum). They also contain palm oil, a highly processed refined oil, plus smoke flavourings and black pepper extract. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation characteristic of NOVA category 4 ultra-processed foods.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
