No — Petits pains is not ultra-processed.
The ingredient list contains basic bread ingredients (wheat flour, water, yeast, salt) plus fermented and malted wheat flour and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as an antioxidant. Fermented and malted flours are traditional processing methods, and ascorbic acid is a simple vitamin additive, not an ultra-processing marker like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or industrial sugar syrups. Therefore this product is not classified as ultra-processed according to NOVA.

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.
