Yes — Wholemeal is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives: vegetable oils, including rapeseed and highly processed palm oil; E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), an emulsifier; and E472e (diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides), an emulsifier. These additives and industrially processed oils meet the criteria for ultra-processing. Calcium propionate and ascorbic acid are preservatives and processing aids, but the main classification is driven by the vegetable oils, E471, and E472e.

Yes — Wholemeal by Kingsmill is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives: vegetable oils, including rapeseed and highly processed palm oil; E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), an emulsifier; and E472e (diacetyltartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides), an emulsifier. These additives and industrially processed oils meet the criteria for ultra-processing. Calcium propionate and ascorbic acid are preservatives and processing aids, but the main classification is driven by the vegetable oils, E471, and E472e.
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.
