Yes — GOLDEN SYRUP FLAVOUR MICROWAVEABLE OATS by QUAKER OAT SO SIMPLE is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings, which are extracted or formulated flavouring additives classified as UPF. The oats, sugar, and salt are basic ingredients and would not independently make it ultra-processed.
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.
