Spiced Fruit Bread

Barcode 08148025
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Spiced Fruit Bread is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday, due to industrial processing additives.

This appears to be a spiced fruit bread made with wheat flour, sultanas, milk, butter, egg, sugar, yeast, and spices. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains an emulsifier, an industrial additive used to improve texture and stability. The flour treatment agents alpha-amylase and hemicellulase are also extracted or isolated processing additives. Fortifying nutrients such as calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin, and vitamin C, along with basic ingredients such as flour, yeast, salt, sugar, dairy, egg, and spices, do not independently make it ultra-processed.
