Yes — Capricciosa sourdough is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because the prosciutto cotto ham contains industrial additives and isolated sugars: dextrose (an industrial refined sugar), sodium ascorbate (antioxidant additive), and sodium nitrite (preservative). These extracted and synthesized additives make the overall product UPF under NOVA, even though many other ingredients are minimally processed.
