Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Original Seeded Batch is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and ingredients typical of NOVA Group 4: emulsifiers (E471 mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, E472e), refined palm oil (sustainable palm), and the preservative calcium propionate. These extracted and industrially processed additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients.
