No — White Bread by M&S FOOD is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a basic bread made from wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast, with added vitamins and minerals for fortification. These are conventional culinary ingredients and nutrients, without industrial flavorings, emulsifiers, refined syrups, or highly processed oils that would make the loaf ultra-processed.
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.
