Sainsbury’s Wheat & Rye Sourdough Bloomer, Taste the Difference

NOVA Classification:

Group 3 — Processed food

Strict NOVA Verdict:

This loaf avoids emulsifiers and preservatives, keeping it outside strict NOVA ultra-processed classification. However, fermented wheat flour, added oil and wheat gluten are still used to improve softness and consistency compared to more traditional sourdough bread.
