Yes — No. 6 Sourdough Majestic Malted is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday due to industrially processed malt ingredients.
This sourdough bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains malted barley flour and malted wheat flour, which are industrially processed extracts or ingredients used to enhance flavor and baking performance. Malted barley extract is explicitly considered UPF; these malted ingredients indicate similar industrial processing. The wheat flour itself is fortified with vitamins and minerals, which does not make it UPF, and the remaining basic ingredients are not independently problematic.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — No. 6 Sourdough Majestic Malted by Jason's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This sourdough bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains malted barley flour and malted wheat flour, which are industrially processed extracts or ingredients used to enhance flavor and baking performance. Malted barley extract is explicitly considered UPF; these malted ingredients indicate similar industrial processing. The wheat flour itself is fortified with vitamins and minerals, which does not make it UPF, and the remaining basic ingredients are not independently problematic.
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.
