Yes — Wholemeal Wheat Bread is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains calcium propionate, an industrial preservative, and E472e, an industrial emulsifier. It also contains palm fat, a highly processed and refined oil. Wholemeal wheat flour, yeast, salt, soya flour, rapeseed oil, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) do not independently make it ultra-processed.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Wholemeal Wheat Bread by Brennans is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains calcium propionate, an industrial preservative, and E472e, an industrial emulsifier. It also contains palm fat, a highly processed and refined oil. Wholemeal wheat flour, yeast, salt, soya flour, rapeseed oil, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) do not independently make it ultra-processed.
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.
