Yes — Gin Gins Original is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) according to NOVA because it contains industrial additives and refined ingredients, specifically glucose syrup and the emulsifier soya lecithin. These are characteristic of ultra-processed foods. Other ingredients like cane sugar, ginger, tapioca starch, rice flour, salt, and citric acid are not UPF on their own, but the presence of the identified UPF additives makes the overall product UPF.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.
