Yes — Soft Cheese Dip and Breadsticks is ultra-processed.
An ultra-processed snack; best enjoyed occasionally rather than daily.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains modified starch and stabilisers, including locust bean gum and carrageenan, in the soft cheese dip. The breadsticks contain barley malt extract, an industrially processed extract used as a flavour enhancer. These additives and industrial ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing, while the basic cheese, wheat flour, coconut oil, yeast, and citric acid are not the main reasons for the classification.
Other dairy, eggs & yoghurt Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Soft Cheese Dip and Breadsticks by Philadelphia is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains modified starch and stabilisers, including locust bean gum and carrageenan, in the soft cheese dip. The breadsticks contain barley malt extract, an industrially processed extract used as a flavour enhancer. These additives and industrial ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing, while the basic cheese, wheat flour, coconut oil, yeast, and citric acid are not the main reasons for 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.
