Garlic Bread

Barcode 5391527001218

Yes — Garlic Bread is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday, due to highly processed oil ingredients.

This is likely garlic bread made with wheat flour, water, garlic oil, garlic purée, salt, parsley, rapeseed oil, yeast, and palm oil. It is classified as ultra-processed because palm oil is a pre-identified UPF ingredient and is a highly processed, refined oil product. The industrial garlic oil formulation also contains palm oil, contributing to the classification.
