No — Seeded Sourdough Bread is not ultra-processed.

This seeded sourdough bread is made from basic cereal flours (wheat and rye), water, salt, and whole seeds, with added bran and malted grains for flavor and texture. These are traditional baking ingredients and do not include industrial additives, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, or highly processed syrups or fats, so it does not meet the criteria for an ultra-processed food.

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.
