No — brown sourdough bloomer by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains basic flours (including fortified wheat flour), water, salt, fermented wheat flour, wheat fibre, and sourdough culture. These are minimally processed or traditional bread-making ingredients with no industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavorings, or other ultra-processed components per NOVA guidelines. Therefore this bread is not classified as ultra-processed.
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.
