Yes — classic grissini by Crosta & Mollica is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as UPF because it contains malted wheat flour, which is an industrially processed extract used primarily as a flavor and color enhancer, fitting NOVA criteria for ultra-processed ingredients.
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.
