Yes — 5 Banana Lunchbox Loaves is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Banana Lunchbox Loaves is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: dextrose, flavourings, and preservative calcium propionate. It also contains fructose-glucose syrup, palm fat, and natural flavouring, which further indicate industrial processing. Fortified wheat flour, sugar, glycerol, rapeseed oil, pectin, yeast, salt, and lutein do not independently determine the classification, but the identified UPF ingredients are sufficient for a UPF classification.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — 5 Banana Lunchbox Loaves by Soreen is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Banana Lunchbox Loaves is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: dextrose, flavourings, and preservative calcium propionate. It also contains fructose-glucose syrup, palm fat, and natural flavouring, which further indicate industrial processing. Fortified wheat flour, sugar, glycerol, rapeseed oil, pectin, yeast, salt, and lutein do not independently determine the classification, but the identified UPF ingredients are sufficient for a UPF classification.
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.
