Yes — Bolachas Belvita Breakfast Milk & Cereals is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and formulations, including bulking agent (polydextrose), emulsifiers (soya lecithins, e472e), and flavourings. Polydextrose is an industrially produced bulking agent, emulsifiers are processing aids that modify texture and stability, and flavourings are extracted or synthesized additives; all are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Bolachas Belvita Breakfast Milk & Cereals by Belvita is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid. The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and formulations, including bulking agent (polydextrose), emulsifiers (soya lecithins, e472e), and flavourings. Polydextrose is an industrially produced bulking agent, emulsifiers are processing aids that modify texture and stability, and flavourings are extracted or synthesized additives; all 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.
