Yes — Really Nutty Granola is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains at least one NOVA UPF ingredient: flavouring. Flavourings are industrial additives used to modify taste and are characteristic of ultra-processed foods. Other ingredients such as oat flakes, sugar, nuts, rapeseed oil, honey, and sunflower seeds are not UPF by themselves, but the presence of flavouring is sufficient to classify the overall product as UPF.
