Yes — Oat Granola is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrially processed ingredients and additives, including golden syrup made with partially inverted sugar syrup (an industrially processed refined sugar syrup) and natural flavouring (an extracted additive used to modify flavour). These ingredients place the product in the UPF category under NOVA, even though it also contains minimally processed components like wholegrain oats, rye flakes, seeds, and basic vegetable oils.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Oat Granola by Dorset Cereals is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrially processed ingredients and additives, including golden syrup made with partially inverted sugar syrup (an industrially processed refined sugar syrup) and natural flavouring (an extracted additive used to modify flavour). These ingredients place the product in the UPF category under NOVA, even though it also contains minimally processed components like wholegrain oats, rye flakes, seeds, and basic vegetable oils.
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.
