No — So Simple Gluten Free Original Porridge by Quaker is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only listed ingredient is wholegrain gluten-free rolled oats, which is a basic minimally processed food without any additives, refined sugars, or industrial formulations. Therefore it is not considered an ultra-processed food (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.
