Barcode 5099874087540
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Mixed Grain Bread is ultra-processed.

This bread is classified as ultra-processed because it contains enzymes, which are industrial processing aids used to modify dough properties. The rest of the ingredients (wheat flour, cracked wheat, yeast, rapeseed oil, mineral additives, ascorbic acid, salt, fermented wheat flour, gluten, oats, spelt, and sultanas) are typical of processed bread, but the inclusion of enzymes makes the overall product ultra-processed under the specified criteria.
