Yes — wholemeal tortilla wraps is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

These wholemeal tortilla wraps are ultra-processed because they contain several industrial additives and a highly refined oil: palm oil, humectant glycerol, raising agents diphosphates, preservative potassium sorbate, and emulsifier mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. These ingredients are pre-identified UPF ingredients and indicate an industrial formulation. The other ingredients, such as wholemeal wheat flour, water, sugar, sodium carbonates, citric acid, salt, wheat starch, calcium propionate, and L-cysteine, do not alter the classification.
