The product contains cooked whole grain quinoa, quinoa, organic sunflower oil, and sea salt, all of which are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives, refined syrups, or emulsifiers.

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.
