Yes — Tropical Fruits Granola is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients, including flavouring, preservatives (sulphur dioxide), refined palm fruit oil, and industrial sugars (banana chips with added sugar, sweetened dried papaya and pineapple). These ingredients go beyond basic culinary processing and place the product in the ultra-processed category according to 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.
