Lunchbox Loaves

Barcode 5018865224924
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Lunchbox Loaves is ultra-processed.

Ultra-processed; best enjoyed occasionally rather than every day.

Lunchbox Loaves is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: partially inverted sugar syrup, an industrially processed syrup; barley malt extract, an industrially processed extract used as a flavor enhancer; vegetable fats including palm fruit oil, a highly refined oil; and calcium propionate, a preservative additive. These ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing. The fortified wheat flour, raisins, starches, salt, yeast, and added vitamins and minerals do not independently make the product ultra-processed.
