Yes — Original Oatcakes by Nairn’s is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains sustainable palm fruit oil, a refined and highly processed oil identified as a UPF ingredient. The oats, sea salt, and sodium bicarbonate and ammonium bicarbonate are not the factors driving the classification.
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.
