Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Sliced White Seeded is ultra-processed.

The product is UPF because it contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives, including palm oil (a highly processed refined oil), calcium propionate (preservative), mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (emulsifiers), and rapeseed lecithins (emulsifier). These industrial additives and refined ingredients place the bread in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
