Mixed Grain Bread

Barcode 5099874087540

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.

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.
