No — TESCO Brown Sourdough Bloomer by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are basic flours (including fortified wheat flour), water, salt, wheat fibre, fermented wheat flour, and sourdough culture. These are minimally processed ingredients with no industrial additives, sweeteners, emulsifiers, or other ultra-processed markers according to NOVA.
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.
