Yes — Malted Bloomer is ultra-processed.
Not ideal for everyday eating because it contains industrial preservatives.
This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains calcium propionate, a preservative pre-identified as a UPF ingredient. The malted barley flour is also an industrially processed malt extract/flavouring ingredient under the specified guidance. The remaining ingredients are basic baking ingredients or permitted fortification and processing aids, but they do not outweigh the UPF additives.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Malted Bloomer by Village Bakery is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains calcium propionate, a preservative pre-identified as a UPF ingredient. The malted barley flour is also an industrially processed malt extract/flavouring ingredient under the specified guidance. The remaining ingredients are basic baking ingredients or permitted fortification and processing aids, but they do not outweigh the UPF additives.
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.
