Avocado Tapenade Baguette Sandwich

Barcode 5059977011279

No — Avocado Tapenade Baguette Sandwich is not ultra-processed.

The ingredients are mainly basic foods and culinary ingredients: bread components (wheat flour, water, seeds, yeast, salt), vegetables (avocado, tomatoes, rocket), olives, herbs, vinegar, basic oils (rapeseed, sunflower, olive), and simple seasonings. There are no industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavour enhancers, or industrial syrups. Malted wheat flour and flakes are grain processing but not industrial flavour extracts like malted barley extract, and concentrated lemon juice is a common culinary ingredient. Therefore it does not meet the NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.
