Yes — Salt & Vinegar flavoured rice cakes is ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed; best enjoyed occasionally rather than every day.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains flavouring and maltodextrin, which are industrially processed additives associated with NOVA ultra-processing. It also contains an emulsifier (acacia gum); however, the flavouring and maltodextrin are the decisive UPF ingredients. The rice, corn grits, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, salt, sugar, citric acid, and calcium phosphate do not independently determine the classification.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Salt & Vinegar flavoured rice cakes by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains flavouring and maltodextrin, which are industrially processed additives associated with NOVA ultra-processing. It also contains an emulsifier (acacia gum); however, the flavouring and maltodextrin are the decisive UPF ingredients. The rice, corn grits, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, salt, sugar, citric acid, and calcium phosphate do not independently determine the 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.
