No — Seeded Sourdough is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are flours, sourdough (flour and water), seeds, pulses, salt, and barley malt extract. These are basic or traditionally processed foods without industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavorings, or refined syrups. Barley malt extract is a processed ingredient but in the context of a bread with otherwise simple ingredients and no other markers of industrial formulation, this product is best classified as minimally processed rather than an ultra-processed formulation.

No — Seeded Sourdough by Tesco Finest is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are flours, sourdough (flour and water), seeds, pulses, salt, and barley malt extract. These are basic or traditionally processed foods without industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavorings, or refined syrups. Barley malt extract is a processed ingredient but in the context of a bread with otherwise simple ingredients and no other markers of industrial formulation, this product is best classified as minimally processed rather than an ultra-processed 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.
