Yes — kelloggscoco pops is ultra-processed.

The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) according to NOVA because it contains several industrial additives and refined ingredients, including: flavourings and aromas (industrial flavor additives), glucose syrup, invert sugar syrup, and fructose (industrially processed/isolated sugars), emulsifier (soya lecithin), humectants sorbitol and glycerol, antioxidants (palmitate, ascorbyl, tocopherol alpha), and highly processed vegetable oils (palm nut, palm, copra). Any one of these would make it UPF; together they clearly place it in the ultra-processed category.
