Yes — crunchy veg waves is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrially processed flavoring ingredients and extracts in the organic BBQ flavour seasoning, notably yeast extract and paprika extract, which are isolated additives used to enhance flavor and color. According to the NOVA criteria and the provided rules, the presence of such industrial formulations makes the whole product a UPF, even though most base ingredients (organic pea flour, sorghum flour, vegetable oil, herbs and spices) are minimally processed.
