Yes — Medium Sliced Soft White Bread is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This bread is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and a highly processed oil. The vegetable oil (rapeseed and sustainable palm) is a pre-identified UPF ingredient; palm fruit oil is highly refined and processed. Calcium propionate is a pre-identified UPF preservative. The emulsifiers E481 and E472e are industrial emulsifying agents that contribute to a UPF classification. The fortified wheat flour, yeast, salt, ascorbic acid, water, and soya flour do not independently make the product ultra-processed.

Yes — Medium Sliced Soft White Bread by Warburtons is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bread is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and a highly processed oil. The vegetable oil (rapeseed and sustainable palm) is a pre-identified UPF ingredient; palm fruit oil is highly refined and processed. Calcium propionate is a pre-identified UPF preservative. The emulsifiers E481 and E472e are industrial emulsifying agents that contribute to a UPF classification. The fortified wheat flour, yeast, salt, ascorbic acid, water, and soya flour do not independently make the product ultra-processed.
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.
