No — Multigrain Hoops is not ultra-processed.
The product contains only basic cereal flours (gluten‑free oat flour, corn flour, brown rice flour), date syrup as a traditional sweetener, and salt. There are no industrial additives, artificial sweeteners, refined industrial syrups, flavorings, emulsifiers, or other markers of ultra‑processing, so it does not meet the NOVA criteria for an ultra‑processed food.

No — Multigrain Hoops by Marks & Spencer is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains only basic cereal flours (gluten‑free oat flour, corn flour, brown rice flour), date syrup as a traditional sweetener, and salt. There are no industrial additives, artificial sweeteners, refined industrial syrups, flavorings, emulsifiers, or other markers of ultra‑processing, so it does not meet the NOVA criteria for an ultra‑processed food.
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.
