Yes — Asda Seeded Sourdough Bread is ultra-processed.
Not ideal for everyday eating because it contains industrial flavor-enhancing ingredients.
This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains malted barley extract and yeast extract. Malted barley extract is an industrially processed extract used as a flavor enhancer, and yeast extract is a concentrated flavor-enhancing additive. The remaining ingredients, such as fortified wheat flour, rye flour, seeds, rapeseed oil, salt, and fermented flour, do not independently make the product ultra-processed.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Asda Seeded Sourdough Bread by Asda Execeptional is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains malted barley extract and yeast extract. Malted barley extract is an industrially processed extract used as a flavor enhancer, and yeast extract is a concentrated flavor-enhancing additive. The remaining ingredients, such as fortified wheat flour, rye flour, seeds, rapeseed oil, salt, and fermented flour, do not independently make the product ultra-processed.
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.
