Yes — Mango Chili & Lime is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: glucose syrup, flavouring, turmeric extract, caramelised sugar syrup, and colour: paprika extract. Glucose syrup and caramelised sugar syrup are industrial sugar formulations, while flavouring, turmeric extract, and paprika extract colour are extracted or formulated additives associated with ultra-processing. The product also contains sulphur dioxide as a preservative, although the ingredients above are sufficient for the UPF classification.
Other pasta, rice & noodles Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Mango Chili & Lime by Merchant Gourmet is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: glucose syrup, flavouring, turmeric extract, caramelised sugar syrup, and colour: paprika extract. Glucose syrup and caramelised sugar syrup are industrial sugar formulations, while flavouring, turmeric extract, and paprika extract colour are extracted or formulated additives associated with ultra-processing. The product also contains sulphur dioxide as a preservative, although the ingredients above are sufficient for the UPF classification.
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.
