Yes — Raisin Wheat Cereal is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This cereal is classified as ultra-processed because it contains glycerol (vegetable glycerine) as a humectant. Glycerol is an extracted industrial additive, and its use contributes to the ultra-processed classification, despite the whole grain wheat and raisins being minimally processed ingredients.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Raisin Wheat Cereal by Nestlé is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This cereal is classified as ultra-processed because it contains glycerol (vegetable glycerine) as a humectant. Glycerol is an extracted industrial additive, and its use contributes to the ultra-processed classification, despite the whole grain wheat and raisins being minimally processed ingredients.
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.
