Yes — Sourdough Crumpets is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains raising agents: diphosphates, which are industrial additives and are considered UPF under the NOVA classification. Other ingredients such as wheat flour, sourdough (water, wheat flour, rye flour), potassium carbonates, sugar, salt, and yeast are not in themselves ultra-processed, but the presence of diphosphates is sufficient to classify the overall product as UPF.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Sourdough Crumpets by Lidl is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains raising agents: diphosphates, which are industrial additives and are considered UPF under the NOVA classification. Other ingredients such as wheat flour, sourdough (water, wheat flour, rye flour), potassium carbonates, sugar, salt, and yeast are not in themselves ultra-processed, but the presence of diphosphates is sufficient to classify the overall product as 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.
