Yes — Wholegrain golden vegetable rice is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract and natural flavouring, both of which are industrially processed additives associated with UPF classification. The remaining ingredients are mostly recognizable whole or basic culinary ingredients, but these additives are sufficient to classify the product as UPF.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Wholegrain golden vegetable rice by Uncle Ben’s is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract and natural flavouring, both of which are industrially processed additives associated with UPF classification. The remaining ingredients are mostly recognizable whole or basic culinary ingredients, but these additives are sufficient to classify the product as UPF.
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.
