Cheese Tomato Flatbread

Barcode 5063445790207

No — Cheese Tomato Flatbread is not ultra-processed.

The ingredient list is valid and consists mainly of basic culinary ingredients: wheat flour (with vitamin/mineral fortification), cheeses, tomato purée, tomato, rapeseed oil, herbs, garlic purée, salt, sugar, yeast, and semolina. The only color mentioned (annatto norbixin) is a traditional plant-derived color and not an industrial emulsifier, stabilizer, artificial sweetener, or refined syrup. There are no extracted industrial additives like emulsifiers, thickeners, flavor enhancers, artificial/natural flavourings, or refined industrial syrups (e.g., glucose syrup, HFCS, maltodextrin), so this does not meet the criteria for an ultra-processed food under NOVA in this context.

Is Cheese Tomato Flatbread 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.
