No — Sourdough Bread is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, traditionally fermented ingredients.
This appears to be sourdough bread made primarily from wheat flour, water, sourdough, rapeseed oil, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and wheat fiber. The fortified flour contains only vitamins and minerals, which are used for nutrition rather than ultra-processing. Rapeseed and olive oils are basic culinary oils, and fermentation through sourdough is a traditional process. No industrial sweeteners, refined industrial syrups, emulsifiers, flavorings, flavor enhancers, or other NOVA ultra-processing additives are present.

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.
