Great choice! Made with simple, wholesome bread ingredients.

This sourdough bread is made from wheat flour, water, wholemeal spelt flour, sprouted spelt grains, rye flour, salt, and fermented wheat flour. The fortified flour contains only added vitamins and minerals, which are used for nutrition rather than ultra-processing. These are simple bread-making ingredients without artificial sweeteners, flavorings, emulsifiers, stabilizers, refined industrial syrups, or highly processed oils, so the product is not ultra-processed.

Is Sourdough ultra-processed?

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?
