Magnesium carbonate (E504i)

No. Magnesium carbonate (E504i) 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.

What it is

A food additive used to dissolve, dilute, disperse or otherwise physically modify a food additive or nutrient without altering its function -and without exerting any technological effect itself- in order to facilitate its handling, application or use of the food additive or nutrient.

A product that contains it can still be ultra-processed for other reasons: 5 of the 8 products here that contain magnesium carbonate (E504i) (63%) are in group 4 because of other ingredients or additives.
