Yes — Wholemeal Bloomer is ultra-processed.
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.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Wholemeal Bloomer by Roberts is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). 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.
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.
