Yes — Thick sliced TIGER BLOOMER by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The bread contains dextrose (an industrially refined sugar) and flour treatment agents / raising agents (E920, E500, E503), which are industrial additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods under 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.
