Yes — Premium burger buns is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as UPF because it contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives, including dextrose (an industrial refined sugar), maltodextrin (an industrially processed starch derivative), emulsifiers E471 and E472e, palm oil (a highly refined vegetable oil), and caramelised sugar used as an additive. These ingredients go beyond basic culinary processing and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed formulations.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Premium burger buns by Hovis is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as UPF because it contains several ultra-processed ingredients/additives, including dextrose (an industrial refined sugar), maltodextrin (an industrially processed starch derivative), emulsifiers E471 and E472e, palm oil (a highly refined vegetable oil), and caramelised sugar used as an additive. These ingredients go beyond basic culinary processing and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed formulations.
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.
