Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Special Recipe Bread scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Calcium Acetate (To Retain Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Dough Conditioners (Ethoxylated Mono- And Diglycerides, Monoglyceride, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Ascorbic Acid)): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Bread, this product is more processed than about 48% of the 11,494 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
