No — White Sourdough Loaf by Asda is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are basic flours, water, oil, salt, and vitamins/minerals for fortification. No industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, or flavorings are present, so it is not classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.
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.
