Yes — Whole Wheat Bread is ultra-processed.
Not ideal for everyday eating because it contains several industrial additives.
This appears to be whole wheat bread. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains vegetable oils, including rapeseed oil and highly processed palm oil, malt extract, and calcium propionate preservative. These industrially processed ingredients and additives go beyond the basic ingredients typically used in traditional bread. Ascorbic acid, vinegar, sugar, yeast, salt, water, and whole wheat flour do not independently make it 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.
