Seeded Vegetable Bread

Barcode 5063210009473

Yes — Seeded Vegetable Bread is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday, due to industrial additives.

This appears to be a seeded vegetable bread made primarily with wheat flour, carrot and sweet potato, seeds, rapeseed oil, yeast, salt, spices, and sugar. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains flavoring, malt extract, and emulsifier E471. Flavoring and malt extract are industrially processed ingredients, while E471 is an extracted emulsifier used to modify texture and structure. The remaining ingredients are generally basic culinary ingredients or minimally processed foods.
