Yes — Drumstick Squashies is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This confectionery is classified as ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, a pre-identified UPF ingredient and an industrially processed sugar syrup. It also contains modified starch and flavourings, which are industrially formulated additives associated with ultra-processing. Gelatine, citric acid, trisodium citrate, pectin, carnauba wax, and anthocyanin do not independently determine the classification here.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Drumstick Squashies by Swizzels is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This confectionery is classified as ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, a pre-identified UPF ingredient and an industrially processed sugar syrup. It also contains modified starch and flavourings, which are industrially formulated additives associated with ultra-processing. Gelatine, citric acid, trisodium citrate, pectin, carnauba wax, and anthocyanin do not independently determine the classification here.
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.
