No — Asda Garlic and Herb 2 Baguettes is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are mostly basic culinary items (fortified wheat flour, butter, rapeseed oil, garlic, herbs, yeast, salt). The minor additives present (ascorbic acid as a flour treatment agent) are simple processing aids and not the kind of industrial formulations or cosmetic additives (emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, flavorings, industrial syrups, etc.) that define ultra-processed foods under NOVA.

No — Asda Garlic and Herb 2 Baguettes by Asda is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are mostly basic culinary items (fortified wheat flour, butter, rapeseed oil, garlic, herbs, yeast, salt). The minor additives present (ascorbic acid as a flour treatment agent) are simple processing aids and not the kind of industrial formulations or cosmetic additives (emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, flavorings, industrial syrups, etc.) that define ultra-processed foods under 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.
