Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Bite Size Shredded Wheat scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Processed Meats (Gelatin): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
Artificial Colors (Blue 2 Lake And Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.

Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
