No — Instant Oats Original by Harvest Morn is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are oat flakes and dried skimmed milk only. These are minimally processed/basic ingredients with no industrial additives, refined syrups, flavourings, or emulsifiers, so the product is not classified as ultra-processed under 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.
