What You Should Know

You'd spot these 365 by Whole Foods Classic English Muffins in the bread aisle or freezer section and grab them for quick breakfasts, toasted sandwiches, or a brunch spread. They give a comforting, nostalgic breakfast vibe — familiar and convenient — while the ingredient list (vital wheat gluten, added oil, sugar, ascorbic acid, and microbial enzymes) and uniform texture hint at industrial processing rather than a simple homemade loaf.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Packaged commercial English muffins contain industrial ingredients and processing aids (vital wheat gluten, enzymes, dough conditioners, added oil and sugar) that go beyond basic culinary ingredients, so they fit NOVA group 4 (ultraprocessed).
