Strawberry Yogurt Cereal Snack

Barcode 4025500303938

Yes — Strawberry Yogurt Cereal Snack is ultra-processed.

The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including modified maize starch, flavourings, oligofructose, and raising agents such as sodium carbonates, along with stabilisers (pectins) and acidity regulators. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate an industrial formulation characteristic of UPFs in the NOVA system.
