Yes — Sourdough Bread is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This is a bread product made primarily from white flour, water, yeast, salt, wheat gluten, vegetable oil, sugar, and sourdough. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains lactic acid, a pre-identified UPF ingredient and industrial additive. The added wheat gluten and vegetable oil also indicate an industrial formulation, although basic flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and sourdough themselves are not sufficient to make it UPF.
Yes — Sourdough Bread is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a bread product made primarily from white flour, water, yeast, salt, wheat gluten, vegetable oil, sugar, and sourdough. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains lactic acid, a pre-identified UPF ingredient and industrial additive. The added wheat gluten and vegetable oil also indicate an industrial formulation, although basic flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and sourdough themselves are not sufficient to make it 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.
