Olive Oil Flatbread

Barcode 5063637280141

Yes — Olive Oil Flatbread is ultra-processed.

This flatbread is ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and processing aids. In particular, dextrose is an industrially refined sugar used to speed fermentation and control browning, and acetic acid is an isolated acid regulator/preservative. The presence of these extracted, industrial ingredients places the product in the ultra-processed NOVA category, despite the otherwise simple base of flour, water, olive oil, salt, and yeast.
