Yes — Thick Cut Sunflower & Pumpkin Seed Loaf is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains industrial additives and processing aids: emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, mono- and tartaric acid esters of mono and diglycerides of fatty acids) and the preservative calcium propionate. These extracted, industrially produced additives place the product in the UPF category under NOVA, even though many other ingredients are minimally processed.

Yes — Thick Cut Sunflower & Pumpkin Seed Loaf by Morrisons is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains industrial additives and processing aids: emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, mono- and tartaric acid esters of mono and diglycerides of fatty acids) and the preservative calcium propionate. These extracted, industrially produced additives place the product in the UPF category under NOVA, even though many other ingredients are minimally processed.
Nomi has reviewed similar products that are not ultra-processed, including SLICED WHITE SOURDOUGH BREAD WITH GRAINS & SEEDS by JASONS SOURDOUGH, seven seeds and grains sourdough by Bertinet Bakery, Hand Finished Oat, Sunflower & Pumpkin Loaf by Coop Irresistible.

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.
