No — Lightly Salted Crisps is not ultra-processed.
A simple snack made with basic ingredients, though best enjoyed occasionally.
Potato chips made from potatoes, sunflower oil, and sea salt are not classified as ultra-processed under the stated criteria. These are basic culinary ingredients, and no industrial formulations or UPF additives are present. Although frying makes the potatoes processed, it does not by itself make the product ultra-processed.

No — Lightly Salted Crisps by Kettle is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Potato chips made from potatoes, sunflower oil, and sea salt are not classified as ultra-processed under the stated criteria. These are basic culinary ingredients, and no industrial formulations or UPF additives are present. Although frying makes the potatoes processed, it does not by itself make the product ultra-processed.
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.
