Warburtons Premium Old English White

NOVA Classification:

Group 3 — Processed food

Strict NOVA Verdict:

Not ultra-processed

This loaf avoids emulsifiers and preservatives, which keeps it outside strict NOVA ultra-processed classification. However, it still uses fermented wheat flour and added oils to improve softness and shelf life compared to more traditional bakery bread.
