Yes — Blueberry/van Rice/corn Cakes imp is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, due to industrial flavourings and maltodextrin.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains natural blueberry flavouring and natural vanilla flavouring, which are industrial flavouring additives. It also contains maltodextrin in the blueberry powder; maltodextrin is an industrially processed isolated sugar and is considered ultra-processed. These ingredients drive the UPF classification, despite the wholegrain rice, corn, cane sugar, and blueberry being otherwise relatively simple ingredients.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
