What You Should Know

You'd spot these black sesame rice snaps in the natural/organic snack aisle or reach for them as a portable nibble between meetings, tea breaks, or packed lunches. They give a wholesome, slightly nostalgic sesame-tea-snack vibe while feeling convenient and modern. The airy, crunchy texture comes from industrial puffing/processing and the ingredient list — including tamari powder and corn maltodextrin — points to manufactured formulation practices common in NOVA 4 products.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although the base ingredients are whole (brown jasmine rice, sesame seeds), the product is an industrially processed puffed snack and includes processed additives like corn maltodextrin and tamari powder, which aligns with NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed).
