Yes — Soft White is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, which is a highly processed and refined oil, and palm fat. It also contains emulsifiers E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids) and E472e (diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides), which are industrial additives used to modify texture and stability. The product also includes chicory fibre and dried fermented wheat flour, but the palm-derived fats and emulsifiers are the ingredients that lead to the UPF classification. Fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, salt, yeast, vitamins and minerals, ascorbic acid, and wheat starch are not the deciding factors.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Soft White by M&S, Marks & Spencer, Marks and Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, which is a highly processed and refined oil, and palm fat. It also contains emulsifiers E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids) and E472e (diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides), which are industrial additives used to modify texture and stability. The product also includes chicory fibre and dried fermented wheat flour, but the palm-derived fats and emulsifiers are the ingredients that lead to the UPF classification. Fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, salt, yeast, vitamins and minerals, ascorbic acid, and wheat starch are not the deciding factors.
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.
