Processing Notes
The main nuance is the presence of fermented wheat flour. This is often used in packaged sourdough-style breads to support acidity, flavour and consistency. It is more formulated than a traditional sourdough made simply with flour, water, salt and a live starter culture, but it does not automatically make the bread ultra-processed under strict NOVA classification.
