Common questions about Olive Bread

Is Olive Bread ultra-processed?

Yes — Olive Bread is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains malted barley flour (an industrial flavoring/extract) and acidity regulators (citric acid listed as an additive) beyond basic culinary use, which fall under NOVA’s ultra-processed ingredients/additives criteria.

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
