Yes — Spiced Flatbread is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processing aids. Specifically, the raising agent E450 (diphosphates) is a pre-identified UPF ingredient. Additional markers of ultra-processing include vegetable ghee (typically a refined and often hydrogenated fat), and other industrial ingredients beyond basic culinary components. These characteristics place the product in the ultra-processed category under the NOVA system.
