Yes — Easy bake Yeast is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives: an emulsifier (sorbitan monostearate) and a flour treatment agent (ascorbic acid). Emulsifiers are UPF markers under NOVA; while ascorbic acid alone would be acceptable, the presence of sorbitan monostearate makes the overall product UPF.

Yes — Easy bake Yeast by ASDA is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives: an emulsifier (sorbitan monostearate) and a flour treatment agent (ascorbic acid). Emulsifiers are UPF markers under NOVA; while ascorbic acid alone would be acceptable, the presence of sorbitan monostearate makes the overall product UPF.
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.
