Yes — Farmhouse Super Seeded Loaf is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the pre-identified UPF ingredient flour treatment agent (ascorbic acid), an extracted additive used to improve flour performance. The product also contains malted wheat flakes, barley malt flour, fermented wheat flour, spirit vinegar, and wheat gluten, but these ingredients alone do not determine the classification under the specified criteria. Fortified wheat flour, seeds, yeast, salt, and basic leavening or fermentation ingredients are not the reason for the UPF classification.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Farmhouse Super Seeded Loaf by Tesco is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the pre-identified UPF ingredient flour treatment agent (ascorbic acid), an extracted additive used to improve flour performance. The product also contains malted wheat flakes, barley malt flour, fermented wheat flour, spirit vinegar, and wheat gluten, but these ingredients alone do not determine the classification under the specified criteria. Fortified wheat flour, seeds, yeast, salt, and basic leavening or fermentation ingredients are not the reason for the UPF classification.
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.
