Yes — Gluten Free Self Raising White Flour is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains xanthan gum, an industrially produced thickener/stabilizer used to modify texture, which falls under NOVA group 4 additives. The rest of the ingredients (gluten-free flours and common raising agents) are not ultra-processed on their own, but the presence of xanthan gum makes the overall product UPF.
Other cooking & baking Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Gluten Free Self Raising White Flour by Doves farm is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains xanthan gum, an industrially produced thickener/stabilizer used to modify texture, which falls under NOVA group 4 additives. The rest of the ingredients (gluten-free flours and common raising agents) are not ultra-processed on their own, but the presence of xanthan gum makes the overall product UPF.
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.
