Yes — Tesco Finest Seeded Sourdough Sliced Loaf is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains barley malt extract and puffed rye malt, which are industrially processed ingredients used as flavouring and texturising agents, making the product a UPF under NOVA guidelines.
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.
