Yes — Free From Sliced Mixed Seed Loaf by Waitrose is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The loaf contains several ultra-processed ingredients and additives, including bamboo fibre, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, xanthan gum, fermented maize starch, and colour (plain caramel). These industrial stabilisers, modified starches, fibres, and colourings place the product in the ultra-processed category 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.
