• NOVA-4 ultra-processed; carries Mexico's excess-calorie and sodium seals

Ingredients (9)

• Refined wheat flour (concerning) — Stripped of bran and germ, so it acts like fast sugar with little fiber.
• Added Sugar (concerning) — Extra sugar in a bread that doesn't need it; adds empty calories and blood-sugar load.
• Vegetable oil (soy lecithin) (moderate) — Refined oil for softness; emulsified with soy lecithin, typical of processed bread.
• yeast (safe) — Leavening agent for bread rising.
• wheat gluten (safe) — Naturally occurring in wheat, adds elasticity.
• Iodized Salt (safe) — Common salt; iodine is a plus in small amounts.
• POTASSIUM CHLORIDE (safe) — A salt substitute used to trim sodium; fine for most.
• datem (caution) — Industrial dough emulsifier used to engineer texture and rise.
• enzymes (safe) — Microbial rennet that coagulates the milk. Standard and harmless; also makes this vegetarian-friendly.
