Barcode 5063089966464

No — Herb Breadcrumbs is not ultra-processed.

The ingredients are toasted ciabatta-style breadcrumbs made from fortified wheat flour, salt, yeast, olive oil, herbs, garlic, pepper, and onions. These are basic culinary ingredients with standard fortification vitamins and minerals, and contain no industrial additives (emulsifiers, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, or industrial syrups). Therefore, under NOVA, this would be considered processed but not ultra-processed.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.
