Common questions about White Bread

Is White Bread ultra-processed?

No — White Bread is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are basic culinary items: wheat flour (with standard vitamin/mineral fortification), water, sugar, salt, yeast, and sodium carbonate as a simple raising agent.

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.
