Yes — Wood fired fior di latte margherita sourdough pizza is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This pizza is classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, an industrially extracted sugar identified as a UPF ingredient. The wheat flour is fortified with calcium carbonate, folic acid, iron, niacin, and thiamin, which are standard fortification nutrients and do not drive the classification. The remaining ingredients are conventional pizza ingredients without additional UPF additives that change the verdict.

Yes — Wood fired fior di latte margherita sourdough pizza by Waitrose is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This pizza is classified as ultra-processed because it contains dextrose, an industrially extracted sugar identified as a UPF ingredient. The wheat flour is fortified with calcium carbonate, folic acid, iron, niacin, and thiamin, which are standard fortification nutrients and do not drive the classification. The remaining ingredients are conventional pizza ingredients without additional UPF additives that change the verdict.
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.
