What You Should Know

You'd spot these Black Sesame Rice Snaps in the health-snack or international aisle, often stacked near rice cakes and seed crackers as a grab-and-go crunchy treat. They give a wholesome, slightly nostalgic vibe — sesame-forward and light — while the crisp snap and use of tamari powder point to industrial processing steps (puffing/baking and powdered seasonings) rather than a purely whole-food snack. The ingredient list is mostly whole grains and seeds but includes processed components (tamari powder with maltodextrin and added sugar), which hints at some level of food processing beyond home cooking.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Mostly whole ingredients (whole grain rice, sesame seeds) combined with processing (puffed/snapped texture) and a powdered seasoning that includes maltodextrin and added sugar; this fits NOVA 3 (processed foods) rather than minimally processed or fully ultraprocessed.
