Yes — Medium Wholemeal Super Soft Loaf is ultra-processed.
This bread is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives. The palm oil and fractionated palm oil are highly refined oils; wheat flour with added calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, and thiamin is a pre-identified UPF ingredient; caramelised sugar syrup is also pre-identified as UPF; and malted wheat is an industrially processed extract used to enhance flavour. These ingredients go beyond basic bread-making ingredients and indicate an industrial formulation.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Medium Wholemeal Super Soft Loaf by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bread is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives. The palm oil and fractionated palm oil are highly refined oils; wheat flour with added calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, and thiamin is a pre-identified UPF ingredient; caramelised sugar syrup is also pre-identified as UPF; and malted wheat is an industrially processed extract used to enhance flavour. These ingredients go beyond basic bread-making ingredients and indicate an industrial formulation.
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.
