Yes — Simply Granola is ultra-processed.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil (a highly processed refined oil), sugar syrup powder (an industrially processed sugar ingredient), and flavouring (an industrial flavouring additive). The presence of any such industrial additives or refined oils is sufficient to classify it as UPF under NOVA.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Simply Granola by Sainsbury's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil (a highly processed refined oil), sugar syrup powder (an industrially processed sugar ingredient), and flavouring (an industrial flavouring additive). The presence of any such industrial additives or refined oils is sufficient to classify it as UPF under NOVA.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
