WISEcode UPF™ Code (Wc-UPF™) evaluates over 5,000 processed ingredients to simplify the complexities of processed foods. By analyzing ingredient lists for highly processed components, it provides clarity on ultra-processed foods (UPFs). 

The Wc-UPF™ Code creates 5 levels of UPF: minimal, light, moderate, ultra and super ultra-processed foods.  In the U.S., about 30% of all US packaged foods are either UPF or Super-UPF.

15 Best Retailers % of SKUs without Wc-UPF™ 

You might notice that Wegman’s is #15, and that is pretty much at the national average.  So congratulations to the top three, but the bottom five are just slightly better than the national average.  Trader Joe's even has 15% of the foods are UPF, even though they have convinced their consumers of the quality of their products.
