Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

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.
