Yes — Malaysian Laksa Fresh Noodles is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives and highly processed ingredients: glucose syrup (an industrial refined sugar syrup), firming agents (potassium carbonate, sodium carbonates), an acidity regulator (citric acid used as an additive), and dried yeast extract (a flavor enhancer). The presence of any such additives is sufficient for UPF classification under NOVA.
Other ready meals Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Malaysian Laksa Fresh Noodles by BOL is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives and highly processed ingredients: glucose syrup (an industrial refined sugar syrup), firming agents (potassium carbonate, sodium carbonates), an acidity regulator (citric acid used as an additive), and dried yeast extract (a flavor enhancer). The presence of any such additives is sufficient for UPF classification under NOVA.
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.
