No — shredded wheat by Nestlé is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only ingredient is whole grain wheat (100%), which is a basic single-ingredient food with no industrial additives, refined syrups, flavorings, or emulsifiers. This fits NOVA Group 1 (minimally processed), so it is not ultra-processed.
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.
