Yes — 12 Sliced Soft White Rolls is ultra-processed.
An ultra-processed bread product, best enjoyed occasionally.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and highly processed ingredients: vegetable oil including sustainable palm oil, emulsifiers E472e, E471, and E481, gelling agent E466, preservative calcium propionate, and E920 (L-cysteine), which is used as a flour treatment agent. These ingredients are characteristic of industrial formulations under the NOVA classification. The fortified wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, sugar, soya flour, ascorbic acid, and added vitamins and minerals do not independently make the product ultra-processed.

Yes — 12 Sliced Soft White Rolls by Warburtons is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and highly processed ingredients: vegetable oil including sustainable palm oil, emulsifiers E472e, E471, and E481, gelling agent E466, preservative calcium propionate, and E920 (L-cysteine), which is used as a flour treatment agent. These ingredients are characteristic of industrial formulations under the NOVA classification. The fortified wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, sugar, soya flour, ascorbic acid, and added vitamins and minerals 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.
