Yes — Sliced collection crafted white sourdough loaf is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because it contains barley malt extract, which is an industrially processed extract used as a flavour enhancer and is classified as ultra-processed under NOVA. All other listed ingredients are basic flours, grains, water, and salt, which are not UPF, but the presence of malt extract makes the overall product UPF.

Yes — Sliced collection crafted white sourdough loaf by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed because it contains barley malt extract, which is an industrially processed extract used as a flavour enhancer and is classified as ultra-processed under NOVA. All other listed ingredients are basic flours, grains, water, and salt, which are not UPF, but the presence of malt extract makes the overall product UPF.
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.
