Yes — Tortilla with whole wheat and wheat is ultra-processed.
The product contains several ultra-processed additives according to NOVA, including humectant E422 (glycerol), emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), acidity regulator E330 (citric acid is allowed but here is part of an additive system), raising agent E500 (baking soda, which alone is acceptable), and stabilizer E415 (xanthan gum). Emulsifiers (E471), stabilizers/thickeners (E415), and industrial humectants (E422) are characteristic of ultra-processed products. Therefore, the tortilla is classified as ultra-processed (UPF).

The product contains several ultra-processed additives according to NOVA, including humectant E422 (glycerol), emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), acidity regulator E330 (citric acid is allowed but here is part of an additive system), raising agent E500 (baking soda, which alone is acceptable), and stabilizer E415 (xanthan gum).

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.
