Common questions about White Bread

Is White Bread ultra-processed?

No — White Bread is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are basic culinary ingredients (water, wheat flour with fortification, fermented wheat flour, sugar, salt, yeast, common raising agents). No industrial additives like emulsifiers, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colorings, flavor enhancers, or industrial syrups are present, so this is not classified as ultra-processed under the given NOVA-based rules.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
