Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Allinson's Scandalous Seeds Wholemeal Bread is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives: emulsifiers (E471 mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, E472e, E481), and refined palm oil. These additives and highly processed fats are characteristic of NOVA Group 4 ultra-processed foods, even though the base is wholemeal flour and seeds.
