Cheese Bread

Barcode 29325818

Yes — Cheese Bread is ultra-processed.

Not ideal for everyday eating because it contains highly processed vegetable oils.

This is likely a cheese bread made with wheat flour, water, cheeses, yeast, milk, and herbs. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains vegetable oils, specifically sunflower oil and palm oil. These pre-identified UPF ingredients are industrially processed oils; palm oil is also a highly refined oil product. The remaining ingredients, including flour, cheese, milk, yeast, salt, vegetables, garlic, and herbs, do not independently require a UPF classification.
