Yes — The Bakery at asda Multigrain Loaf is ultra-processed.
This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains palm fat, palm oil, and the preservative calcium propionate, which are industrial ingredients/additives used for texture, shelf-life extension, and processing stability. These additives place the product in the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category, even though it also contains many minimally processed grains and seeds.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — The Bakery at asda Multigrain Loaf by Asda is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains palm fat, palm oil, and the preservative calcium propionate, which are industrial ingredients/additives used for texture, shelf-life extension, and processing stability. These additives place the product in the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category, even though it also contains many minimally processed grains and seeds.
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.
