Yes — State Baked Pretzels Sour Cream & Chive Flavour is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains industrial flavouring formulations and additives. The pre-identified UPF sour-cream-and-chive flavour includes flavourings, yeast extract used as a flavour enhancer, dried dairy and vegetable powders in an industrial flavour preparation, and colour from paprika extract. Dextrose is also an industrially refined sugar classified as UPF. These ingredients make the product ultra-processed under the NOVA classification, despite the presence of basic ingredients such as wheat flour, dried potato, rapeseed oil, corn starch, salt, and acidity regulators.
