Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Plain Folded Flatbread is ultra-processed.

The product is ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives and processing aids: preservative E282 (calcium propionate), raising agent E450 (diphosphates), and separated leavening system components like sodium bicarbonate and calcium phosphates. These additives and the formulated nature of the product place it in the NOVA ultra-processed foods category.
