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.
