Yes — Oaty Farmhouse Bread is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Oaty Farmhouse is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil and fractionated palm oil, which are highly refined industrial fats. Palm oil is a pre-identified UPF ingredient, and fractionation is an additional industrial processing step. The product also contains malted barley flour, an industrially processed extract/flour component used to enhance flavor, further supporting the UPF classification. The other ingredients, such as wheat flour, oats, bran, yeast, salt, sugar, molasses, rapeseed oil, vitamins, minerals, and ascorbic acid, do not independently make it UPF under the stated criteria.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Oaty Farmhouse Bread by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Oaty Farmhouse is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil and fractionated palm oil, which are highly refined industrial fats. Palm oil is a pre-identified UPF ingredient, and fractionation is an additional industrial processing step. The product also contains malted barley flour, an industrially processed extract/flour component used to enhance flavor, further supporting the UPF classification. The other ingredients, such as wheat flour, oats, bran, yeast, salt, sugar, molasses, rapeseed oil, vitamins, minerals, and ascorbic acid, do not independently make it UPF under the stated criteria.
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.
