No — Sourdough Seeded Sliced Half Cob is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, traditional bread ingredients.
This is a simple sourdough bread made primarily from fortified wheat flour, water, seeds, fermented wheat flour, and sea salt. Fortifying flour with calcium, folic acid, iron, niacin, and thiamin does not make a food ultra-processed. The seeds and fermented wheat flour are traditional ingredients, and no industrial UPF additives, refined syrup, flavouring, emulsifier, stabilizer, or highly processed oil is present.

No — Sourdough Seeded Sliced Half Cob by HOVIS is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a simple sourdough bread made primarily from fortified wheat flour, water, seeds, fermented wheat flour, and sea salt. Fortifying flour with calcium, folic acid, iron, niacin, and thiamin does not make a food ultra-processed. The seeds and fermented wheat flour are traditional ingredients, and no industrial UPF additives, refined syrup, flavouring, emulsifier, stabilizer, or highly processed oil is present.
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.
