Yes — 8 Wholemeal Tortilla Wraps is ultra-processed.
The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives according to NOVA, including palm oil (a highly processed refined oil), glycerol as a humectant, emulsifier (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), and preservative (calcium propionate). The presence of these industrial additives and refined palm oil makes the wraps ultra-processed, even though the base is wholemeal wheat flour.
