Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Nutty Granola is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This granola is classified as ultra-processed because it contains golden syrup made with partially inverted sugar syrup (17%), an industrially processed syrup, and natural flavouring, an extracted flavour additive. These ingredients are UPF markers under the NOVA classification. The oats, rye, nuts, coconut, and rapeseed/sunflower oil are not the factors driving the classification.
