Yes — Free Range Egg & Cress on Malted Bread is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday eating.
This product is ultra-processed because the malted bread contains emulsifiers: mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, and mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides. These are industrially formulated additives associated with ultra-processed foods. The malted bread also contains malted barley flour, an industrially processed malt ingredient used to enhance flavor. The mayonnaise is not the primary reason for classification, but the pre-identified malted bread ingredient makes the overall product UPF.

Yes — Free Range Egg & Cress on Malted Bread by Saintsbury's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because the malted bread contains emulsifiers: mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, and mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides. These are industrially formulated additives associated with ultra-processed foods. The malted bread also contains malted barley flour, an industrially processed malt ingredient used to enhance flavor. The mayonnaise is not the primary reason for classification, but the pre-identified malted bread ingredient makes the overall product UPF.
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.
