Yes — Peppermint Power Gum is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Peppermint Power Gum is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring, which is an extracted flavouring additive classified as UPF. The product also contains industrially formulated sweeteners (xylitol and steviol glycosides), gum base, and glazing agents, consistent with a manufactured ready-to-eat chewing gum.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Peppermint Power Gum by Milliways is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Peppermint Power Gum is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring, which is an extracted flavouring additive classified as UPF. The product also contains industrially formulated sweeteners (xylitol and steviol glycosides), gum base, and glazing agents, consistent with a manufactured ready-to-eat chewing gum.
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.
