Lightly seeded loaf

Barcode 5010092840717

Yes — Lightly seeded loaf is ultra-processed.

Classified as UPF because it contains sustainable palm oil (a highly processed refined oil) and malted barley flour (an industrially processed extract used as a flavor/enhancing ingredient). Other ingredients are minimally processed or basic additives/fortificants, but the presence of these UPF ingredients makes the overall product ultra-processed per NOVA-style criteria.

Common questions about Lightly seeded loaf

Is Lightly seeded loaf ultra-processed?

Yes — Lightly seeded loaf by Allison's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as UPF because it contains sustainable palm oil (a highly processed refined oil) and malted barley flour (an industrially processed extract used as a flavor/enhancing ingredient). Other ingredients are minimally processed or basic additives/fortificants, but the presence of these UPF ingredients makes the overall product ultra-processed per NOVA-style criteria.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
