Yes — Barebells Caramel Cashew 55g is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include several industrial additives and processed components: artificial sweeteners (maltitol, sucralose), polydextrose (a synthetic fiber/bulking agent), emulsifier lecithins, added aromas/flavorings, and glycerol as a humectant. These are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Barebells Caramel Cashew 55g by BONAVENTURA SALES AS is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include several industrial additives and processed components: artificial sweeteners (maltitol, sucralose), polydextrose (a synthetic fiber/bulking agent), emulsifier lecithins, added aromas/flavorings, and glycerol as a humectant. These are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods.
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.
