Common questions about White Bread

Is White Bread ultra-processed?

No — White Bread is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as not ultra-processed because it contains basic baking ingredients (enriched wheat flour, water, sugar, corn meal, salt, gluten, yeast, cultured flour, malted barley flour) and no industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavour enhancers, or refined industrial syrups.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
