Yes — Large brown bread baps is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed. It contains several industrial additives and processing aids, including emulsifiers (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate, mono- and diacetyl tartaric esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), stabiliser (calcium sulphate), palm fat (a highly processed refined oil), pregelatinized wheat flour, dextrose (an industrially refined sugar), flour treatment agents (ascorbic acid, L-cysteine), and preservative (calcium propionate). The presence of these additives and industrial ingredients classifies it as an ultra-processed food according to NOVA.
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.
