Yes — Protein bread is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains vegetable oils, including rapeseed oil and sustainable palm oil, which are industrially processed ingredients. It also contains the flour treatment agent ascorbic acid (vitamin C), identified here as an industrial additive. These ingredients contribute to an industrial formulation beyond basic bread-making ingredients.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Protein bread by Warbutons is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains vegetable oils, including rapeseed oil and sustainable palm oil, which are industrially processed ingredients. It also contains the flour treatment agent ascorbic acid (vitamin C), identified here as an industrial additive. These ingredients contribute to an industrial formulation beyond basic bread-making ingredients.
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.
