Yes — Malt Lunchbox Loaves is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains partially inverted sugar syrup, an industrially processed sugar syrup; barley malt extract, an industrially processed extract used as a flavor enhancer; and vegetable fat (rapeseed, palm), which is pre-identified as a UPF ingredient, with palm oil being highly processed and refined. The added preservative also contributes to its industrial formulation. Fortified wheat flour, raisins, salt, yeast, and starches do not independently determine the classification.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Malt Lunchbox Loaves by Soreen is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains partially inverted sugar syrup, an industrially processed sugar syrup; barley malt extract, an industrially processed extract used as a flavor enhancer; and vegetable fat (rapeseed, palm), which is pre-identified as a UPF ingredient, with palm oil being highly processed and refined. The added preservative also contributes to its industrial formulation. Fortified wheat flour, raisins, salt, yeast, and starches do not independently determine the classification.
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.
