This appears to be a seasoned cracker product made primarily from wheat flour, with wholegrain rye flour, rice flour, vegetables, herbs, spices, vinegar, sugar, salt, and basic culinary oils. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains yeast extract, natural flavouring, paprika extract, and liquorice extract, which are industrially extracted or formulated additives and flavouring ingredients. Potato maltodextrin is also an industrially processed, isolated carbohydrate. The fortified wheat flour, rapeseed and sunflower oils, citric acid, and potassium chloride do not independently make the product ultra-processed.
