Common questions about Chocolate Oat Cereal

Is Chocolate Oat Cereal ultra-processed?

No — Chocolate Oat Cereal by Biona Organic is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are mainly minimally processed or traditional foods: oats, sugar, sunflower oil, rice components, rice syrup, cocoa, milk and dark chocolate, coconut, and sea salt. No industrial additives, refined syrups (like glucose-fructose syrup, maltodextrin), artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, or artificial/natural flavourings are listed, so it does not meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?

Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
