Yes — Twix Xtra is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes several industrially processed ingredients and additives: glucose syrup (jarabe de glucosa – an industrially extracted refined sugar), palm fat/oil (grasa de palma – considered a highly processed refined oil), and the emulsifier soy lecithin (emulgente lecitina de soja – an extracted additive). The presence of any such additives/ingredients is sufficient under NOVA to classify the product as an ultra-processed food (UPF).

Yes — Twix Xtra by Mars is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes several industrially processed ingredients and additives: glucose syrup (jarabe de glucosa – an industrially extracted refined sugar), palm fat/oil (grasa de palma – considered a highly processed refined oil), and the emulsifier soy lecithin (emulgente lecitina de soja – an extracted additive). The presence of any such additives/ingredients is sufficient under NOVA to classify the product as an ultra-processed food (UPF).
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.
