Not ideal for everyday eating because it contains industrial additives.

This is a wholemeal bread made primarily from wholemeal wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, muscovado sugar, calcium carbonate, and ascorbic acid. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains emulsifier E472e, an industrial additive, and malted barley flour, an industrially processed extract used as a flavor enhancer. These ingredients indicate industrial formulation beyond basic bread-making.
