Yes — West Country Extra Mature Cheddar and Red Leicester Loaf is ultra-processed.
Classified as UPF because the ingredient list includes malted barley flour, which is an industrially processed extract used as a flavor enhancer and therefore considered ultra-processed under NOVA. The rest of the ingredients are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of any UPF ingredient makes the overall product UPF.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — West Country Extra Mature Cheddar and Red Leicester Loaf by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as UPF because the ingredient list includes malted barley flour, which is an industrially processed extract used as a flavor enhancer and therefore considered ultra-processed under NOVA. The rest of the ingredients are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of any UPF 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.
