Yes — Wholemeal Bread is ultra-processed.
UPF due to industrial preservatives, despite its wholemeal base.
This appears to be wholemeal bread made primarily from wholemeal wheat flour, wheat flour, water, and yeast. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains calcium propionate and sorbic acid, which are pre-identified UPF preservatives. Calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, iron, and thiamin are fortification ingredients and do not drive the classification.
Yes — Wholemeal Bread is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This appears to be wholemeal bread made primarily from wholemeal wheat flour, wheat flour, water, and yeast.

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.
