No — Cereal by Weetabix is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains whole wheat cereal, added vitamin, and added iron. These are minimally processed ingredients and nutrients for fortification, without industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, or flavorings. Therefore, it is not classified as an ultra-processed food (UPF) under NOVA.
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.
