No — Cold Milled Flaxseed by Linwoods is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient is 100% organic flaxseed, a single whole food ingredient with no additives, refined sugars, flavorings, or industrial processing aids.

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.
