Yes — SOFT PITTAS is ultra-processed.
This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) according to the NOVA system because it contains several industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of UPFs. Specifically, it includes dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), emulsifiers E471 and E481, gelling agent E466 (carboxymethyl cellulose), stabiliser xanthan gum, preservative calcium propionate, and palm oil within 'vegetable oils (sustainable palm, rapeseed)'. These additives and refined components are not typical of minimally processed foods and are used to modify texture, shelf life, and palatability, which places this product in the ultra-processed category.

Yes — SOFT PITTAS by Warburtons is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) according to the NOVA system because it contains several industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of UPFs. Specifically, it includes dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), emulsifiers E471 and E481, gelling agent E466 (carboxymethyl cellulose), stabiliser xanthan gum, preservative calcium propionate, and palm oil within 'vegetable oils (sustainable palm, rapeseed)'. These additives and refined components are not typical of minimally processed foods and are used to modify texture, shelf life, and palatability, which places this product in the ultra-processed category.
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.
