No — The Honey Soaked Seeded Bloomer is not ultra-processed.

A wholesome bread made with simple, familiar ingredients.

This bread is not ultra-processed because it is made mainly from basic flours, seeds, water, yeast, honey, salt, rapeseed oil, bran, and malted grains. Fortifying nutrients in the wheat flour and ascorbic acid used as a flour treatment agent are basic fortification or baking aids, not industrial UPF markers. The ingredients do not include artificial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined industrial syrups, or other additives that would indicate ultra-processing.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
