Yes — Mint is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. The product contains multiple ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA, including glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar), polydextrose (a synthetic bulking agent), emulsifier (lecithin), stabiliser (cellulose when added as an isolated additive), and natural flavourings. It also contains palm oil and other refined vegetable fats. Because at least one and in fact several ingredients are ultra-processed additives or industrial formulations, the product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF).

The product contains multiple ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA, including glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar), polydextrose (a synthetic bulking agent), emulsifier (lecithin), stabiliser (cellulose when added as an isolated additive), and natural flavourings. It also contains palm oil and other refined vegetable fats. Because at least one and in fact several ingredients are ultra-processed additives or industrial formulations, the product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF).
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.
