Yes — High-Protein Sliced Bagel Thins is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
These bagel thins contain calcium propionate, an industrial preservative used to extend shelf life. This additive classifies the product as ultra-processed under the stated NOVA criteria. Ascorbic acid is a basic flour-treatment agent and would not by itself make the product ultra-processed; the fortified flour, sugar, linseeds, yeast, salt, and wheat ingredients are also not the deciding factors.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — High-Protein Sliced Bagel Thins by Rowan Hill Bakery is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). These bagel thins contain calcium propionate, an industrial preservative used to extend shelf life. This additive classifies the product as ultra-processed under the stated NOVA criteria. Ascorbic acid is a basic flour-treatment agent and would not by itself make the product ultra-processed; the fortified flour, sugar, linseeds, yeast, salt, and wheat ingredients are also not the deciding factors.
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.
