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.

Yes — Sweet Wheat Crackers is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). 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.
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.
