Waitrose Multi-Seeded Farmhouse Bread

NOVA Classification:

Group 4 — Ultra-processed food

Strict NOVA Verdict:

Ultra-processed

Although this loaf contains a generous mix of seeds, it still relies on emulsifiers, preservatives and added oil commonly found in industrial packaged bread. The seeds add nutritional value but do not change the NOVA classification.
