Yes — Protein Thin Bagels is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
Protein Thin Bagels are ultra-processed because they contain industrial additives and processing aids, including emulsifiers E472e and E481, the thickener or gelling agent E466 (carboxymethyl cellulose), the preservative calcium propionate, and flour treatment agent E920 (L-cysteine). These additives are characteristic of industrial formulations. The product also contains isolated pea protein and pea fibre, which further indicate industrial processing, although the fortified wheat flour, seeds, legumes, yeast, salt, and citric acid are not independently decisive.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Protein Thin Bagels by Warburtons is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Protein Thin Bagels are ultra-processed because they contain industrial additives and processing aids, including emulsifiers E472e and E481, the thickener or gelling agent E466 (carboxymethyl cellulose), the preservative calcium propionate, and flour treatment agent E920 (L-cysteine). These additives are characteristic of industrial formulations. The product also contains isolated pea protein and pea fibre, which further indicate industrial processing, although the fortified wheat flour, seeds, legumes, yeast, salt, and citric acid are not independently decisive.
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.
