Malic acid (E296)
No. Malic acid (E296) is not one of the markers Open Food Facts uses to classify a food as processed or ultra-processed, so on its own it doesn't raise a product's NOVA group.

A product that contains it can still be ultra-processed for other reasons: 920 of the 951 products here that contain malic acid (E296) (97%) are in group 4 because of other ingredients or additives.
Where it turns up
Malic acid (E296) appears in 951 of the 40,000 products on this site (2%).
