Yes — 4 bake at home white rolls is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial emulsifiers and processed extracts. Specifically: (1) emulsifier: mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids – an industrial emulsifier; (2) barley malt extract – an industrially processed extract used as a flavouring and processing aid. These additives place the product in the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category, even though the base ingredients (wheat flour, water, sourdough, yeast, salt, etc.) are minimally processed.
