Yes — 6 scotch pancakes is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF). The ingredient list, once cleaned, includes several ultra-processed markers: invert sugar syrup (an industrially processed inverted sugar), golden syrup (when associated with inverted syrups is considered industrial), skimmed milk powder (pre-identified UPF ingredient), whey powder, and a preservative (potassium sorbate). These extracted/isolated ingredients and preservative additives go beyond basic culinary processing and clearly place the product in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — 6 scotch pancakes by Asda is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF). The ingredient list, once cleaned, includes several ultra-processed markers: invert sugar syrup (an industrially processed inverted sugar), golden syrup (when associated with inverted syrups is considered industrial), skimmed milk powder (pre-identified UPF ingredient), whey powder, and a preservative (potassium sorbate). These extracted/isolated ingredients and preservative additives go beyond basic culinary processing and clearly place the product in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
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.
