Yes — 6 Croissants is ultra-processed.
A tasty treat, but not ideal for everyday eating.
These croissants are ultra-processed because they contain industrial additives: emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), colour (carotenes), flavouring, and thickener (carob bean gum). These additives indicate an industrial formulation beyond traditional croissant ingredients. The remaining ingredients, such as wheat flour, butter, yeast, sugar, and salt, are not independently sufficient to make the product ultra-processed.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — 6 Croissants by The Bakery is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). These croissants are ultra-processed because they contain industrial additives: emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), colour (carotenes), flavouring, and thickener (carob bean gum). These additives indicate an industrial formulation beyond traditional croissant ingredients. The remaining ingredients, such as wheat flour, butter, yeast, sugar, and salt, are not independently sufficient to 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.
