Yes — caramel almond and sea salt is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF). The ingredient list is valid. It contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA: a caramel flavoured coating (which itself includes palm kernel oil, sunflower lecithin, and natural flavouring), glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar), and emulsifier soya lecithin. These are industrial formulations and additives used for texture, flavor, and processing stability rather than basic culinary purposes, so their presence makes the overall product UPF.
