No — Sourdough Bread is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid and consists mainly of basic culinary ingredients: wheat flour, water, olive oil, yeast, iodised salt (salt plus potassium iodide), sourdough culture, wheat, and rice flour. The flour treatment agent ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a simple additive commonly used in bread-making and is not considered an ultra-processing marker under these rules. There are no industrial sweeteners, emulsifiers, stabilizers, gums, flavorings, isolated industrial sugar syrups, or highly processed fats like palm fruit oil. Therefore, this product is not classified as ultra-processed according to the NOVA criteria provided.

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.
