Is Rye & Mixed Seed Sourdough Bread ultra-processed?

No — Rye & Mixed Seed Sourdough Bread by Tesco is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food).

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
