Yes — Fast Action Dried Yeast 8 Sachets by Sainsbury's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives: stabiliser (calcium sulphate), emulsifier (sorbitan monostearate), and flour treatment agents (ascorbic acid, alpha-amylase). These are extracted or synthesized additives used to modify texture, stability, or dough performance, which makes the product an ultra-processed food under NOVA.
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.
