Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Cherry Bakewell Oat Boosts is ultra-processed.

The product is ultra-processed because it contains multiple industrial ingredients and additives, including pre-identified UPF ingredients: vegetable oils (rapeseed, palm**), golden syrup, liquid sugar, dried cranberries (sugar, cranberries, sunflower oil), humectant: glycerine, palm fat, emulsifier: soy lecithin, natural flavouring, and stabiliser: xanthan gum. It also includes other ultra-processed components such as soluble corn fibre and apple juice concentrate used as a sweetening/processing agent. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate an industrial formulation characteristic of NOVA Group 4 foods.
