No — Brown Sourdough Bloomer is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list contains basic flours, water, salt, yeast, and sourdoughs. Malted barley and malted wheat flours are processed cereal ingredients but not industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or refined syrups. No clear ultra-processed additives are present, so this would not be classified as an ultra-processed food under NOVA.

No — Brown Sourdough Bloomer by Co Op is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains basic flours, water, salt, yeast, and sourdoughs. Malted barley and malted wheat flours are processed cereal ingredients but not industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or refined syrups. No clear ultra-processed additives are present, so this would not be classified as an ultra-processed food under NOVA.
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.
