Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Soft Tiger Bloomer is ultra-processed.

This bread is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients, including refined vegetable oils (rapeseed and palm), emulsifiers (E471, E472e), flavouring, the preservative calcium propionate, dextrose (an industrial sugar), and the flour treatment agent E920. These additives and processed ingredients are characteristic of ultra-processed foods in the NOVA system.
