Yes — Gallagher sourdough is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday due to added flavouring.
This is a wholemeal sourdough bread, but it contains natural flavouring, which is an extracted flavouring additive classified as ultra-processed under NOVA. The product also includes fermented wheat flour and added vegetable fibre, but the decisive UPF ingredient is natural flavouring. The fortified wheat flour, vegetable oil, vinegar, psyllium husk, ascorbic acid, yeast, and salt are not independently sufficient to classify it as UPF.
Other breads & wraps Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Gallagher sourdough by Gallagher's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a wholemeal sourdough bread, but it contains natural flavouring, which is an extracted flavouring additive classified as ultra-processed under NOVA. The product also includes fermented wheat flour and added vegetable fibre, but the decisive UPF ingredient is natural flavouring. The fortified wheat flour, vegetable oil, vinegar, psyllium husk, ascorbic acid, yeast, and salt are not independently sufficient to classify it as UPF.
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.
