No — White Baguettes is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, traditional bread ingredients.
White baguettes are not ultra-processed under the stated NOVA criteria. They are made from basic ingredients such as wheat flour, water, yeast, fermented wheat flour, salt, and malted wheat flour. Ascorbic acid is a basic flour-treatment agent used in small amounts and does not by itself make the bread ultra-processed. The ingredients do not include industrial sweeteners, refined or hydrogenated oils, emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, or other UPF-defining additives.
