Yes — Eight Train Strong Multigrain Flour is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as UPF because it contains malted wheat flakes and malted wheat flour. Malted grain extracts/flours are industrially processed ingredients used for flavor and functional properties, which fall under NOVA’s ultra-processed category. The rest of the ingredients (wheat flour with added vitamins/minerals, rye flakes, oat flakes, maize grits, seeds) are minimally processed, but the presence of malted wheat ingredients is sufficient to classify the overall product as ultra-processed.
