No.1 Rye and Wheat Dark Sourdough Bread

NOVA Classification:

Group 3 — Processed food

Strict NOVA Verdict:

Not ultra-processed

This loaf has a very short ingredient list and avoids emulsifiers, preservatives, added oils and other modern formulation ingredients. The molasses contributes colour and flavour but does not automatically make the bread ultra-processed under NOVA.
