Sweet Wheat Crackers

Barcode 5063334012304

Yes — Sweet Wheat Crackers is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include palm oil (a highly refined industrial oil) and added flavouring, which are hallmarks of ultra-processed foods under NOVA. Other ingredients like fortified wheat flour, sugar, maize flour, salt, and basic raising agents are not UPF on their own but the presence of industrial additives makes the final product UPF.
