Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — 8 Wraps is ultra-processed.

The product is ultra-processed (UPF) because the ingredient list includes several industrial additives and formulations, notably: palm oil (a highly refined oil), mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (an emulsifier), carboxymethyl cellulose (a stabiliser/thickener), preservatives such as potassium sorbate and calcium propionate, and unspecified flavourings. These additives and processed ingredients place the product in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
