Yes — Salt & Vinegar flavoured rice cakes by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations. These include flavouring, maltodextrin (an industrially produced refined carbohydrate), and emulsifier (acacia gum). Such additives are characteristic of ultra-processed foods in the NOVA system, going beyond basic culinary ingredients like rice, oils, salt, and sugar.
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.
