Yes — waitrose multigrain farmhouse batch is ultra-processed.
This bread is ultra-processed because it contains emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids; mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), which are industrial additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods under the NOVA system.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — waitrose multigrain farmhouse batch by waitrose is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bread is ultra-processed because it contains emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids; mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), which are industrial additives characteristic of ultra-processed foods under the NOVA system.
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.
