Yes — Kelderman Rye Bread, German Style is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and ingredients such as dextrinated wholemeal wheat flour (a modified, industrially processed flour product), and the preservatives calcium propionate and sorbic acid, which are not used in home kitchens and are hallmarks of ultra-processed foods under NOVA. The presence of acidifiers (lactic acid, citric acid) also supports this classification when combined with other industrial additives.
