Yes — Tesco White Batch Rolls is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, due to industrial additives and refined oils.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains emulsifiers—mono- and di-acetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and di-glycerides of fatty acids, and mono- and di-glycerides of fatty acids—which are industrial additives. It also contains palm oil, a highly processed and refined oil product. The other ingredients, including fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, sugar, yeast, salt, vinegar, and ascorbic acid, do not independently determine the UPF classification.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Tesco White Batch Rolls by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food).

It also contains palm oil, a highly processed and refined oil product. The other ingredients, including fortified wheat flour, rapeseed oil, sugar, yeast, salt, vinegar, and ascorbic acid, do not independently determine the UPF classification.
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.
