No — Bran Sticks by Ceres is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are wheat bran (99.2%) and barley malt flour (0.8%), which are minimally processed cereal ingredients without additives, refined syrups, industrial extracts, or processing aids typically associated with ultra-processed foods under NOVA.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
