Yes — farmhouse wholemeal by Asda is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial additives and processing aids, including: preservative (calcium propionate), emulsifier (mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), and refined palm fat/palm oil. These are characteristic of NOVA group 4 ultra-processed foods.
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.
