Yes — Cheese and Onion Crisps is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This is a potato-based snack flavored with cheese and red onion. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains cheese powder (milk), yeast extract, natural flavourings, and colour (paprika extract), which are industrially processed additives or flavoring ingredients under the specified NOVA criteria. The flavor mixture also includes sugar, salt, onion powder, yeast powder, buttermilk powder, and Irish cheddar cheese powder; these do not override the classification, which is driven by the identified UPF ingredients.
