Yes — Toasting Waffle is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. This product is ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients: vegetable fat (palm) (a highly refined palm oil product), stabilizer: glycerol (a humectant/stabilizer additive), emulsifier: soya lecithin (an industrial emulsifier), and flavouring (an added flavouring agent). According to NOVA, the presence of such emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined palm fat, and added flavourings classifies the product as ultra-processed, even though it also contains basic ingredients like eggs, sugar, wheat flour, and rapeseed oil.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Toasting Waffle is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid. This product is ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients: vegetable fat (palm) (a highly refined palm oil product), stabilizer: glycerol (a humectant/stabilizer additive), emulsifier: soya lecithin (an industrial emulsifier), and flavouring (an added flavouring agent). According to NOVA, the presence of such emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined palm fat, and added flavourings classifies the product as ultra-processed, even though it also contains basic ingredients like eggs, sugar, wheat flour, and rapeseed oil.
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.
