Yes — Brioche Loaf is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This brioche loaf is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives: palm oil, a highly processed refined oil; invert sugar syrup, an industrially processed sugar syrup; flavourings; milk protein, an extracted protein ingredient; mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, an emulsifier; and calcium propionate, a preservative. These ingredients indicate industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Brioche Loaf by Best APPETIT is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This brioche loaf is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives: palm oil, a highly processed refined oil; invert sugar syrup, an industrially processed sugar syrup; flavourings; milk protein, an extracted protein ingredient; mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, an emulsifier; and calcium propionate, a preservative. These ingredients indicate industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing.
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.
