Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Superseed soft suite farmhouse is ultra-processed.

This bread is ultra-processed because it contains malted wheat flakes and palm oil, which are industrially processed ingredients used to modify texture, flavor, and shelf-life. These push the product into the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category, even though many other components like flour, seeds, and yeast are minimally processed.
