Yes — Farmhouse Batch is ultra-processed.
Not ideal for everyday eating because it contains industrial emulsifiers.
This bread is ultra-processed because it contains emulsifier E471, a pre-identified UPF additive, and E472e, another industrial emulsifier used to modify and stabilize the dough. It also contains palm oil, a highly processed and refined oil product. Ascorbic acid is a basic flour-treatment agent and is not the reason for the classification; fortified wheat flour, yeast, salt, and rapeseed oil do not independently make it UPF.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Farmhouse Batch by Hovis is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bread is ultra-processed because it contains emulsifier E471, a pre-identified UPF additive, and E472e, another industrial emulsifier used to modify and stabilize the dough. It also contains palm oil, a highly processed and refined oil product. Ascorbic acid is a basic flour-treatment agent and is not the reason for the classification; fortified wheat flour, yeast, salt, and rapeseed oil do not independently make it UPF.
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.
