No — blue dragon wholewheat noodles is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are wholemeal wheat flour, fortified wheat flour (with calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin), water, salt, and basic firming agents (potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate). These are basic culinary ingredients and simple mineral additives, with no industrial flavorings, emulsifiers, refined industrial syrups, or other ultra-processed additives. Under NOVA, this would be minimally processed/processed, not ultra-processed.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
