Yes — Fruit & Oat Bakes apple is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed. It contains multiple industrial ingredients and additives that classify it as UPF according to NOVA, including glucose-fructose syrup, partially inverted sugar syrup, invert sugar syrup, maltodextrin, polydextrose, modified starch, emulsifiers (soya lecithin, E472e), gelling agents (pectins, sodium alginate), and natural flavouring.
