Yes — Nestle Nesquik Cereal 375g is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial ingredients and additives such as glucose syrup (an industrially processed sugar) and natural flavouring, which fall under NOVA ultra-processed formulations. Basic ingredients like whole grain wheat, maize semolina, sugar, cocoa, salt, and added vitamins/minerals are not UPF by themselves, but the presence of glucose syrup and natural flavouring is sufficient to classify the whole product as ultra-processed.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Nestle Nesquik Cereal 375g by Nestlé is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial ingredients and additives such as glucose syrup (an industrially processed sugar) and natural flavouring, which fall under NOVA ultra-processed formulations. Basic ingredients like whole grain wheat, maize semolina, sugar, cocoa, salt, and added vitamins/minerals are not UPF by themselves, but the presence of glucose syrup and natural flavouring is sufficient to classify the whole product as ultra-processed.
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.
