Scanned  18  times by Nomi users
Not Ultra-Processed

No — Extra Special Nutty Muesli is not ultra-processed.

The ingredient list is valid and consists of whole grains, dried fruits, nuts, rice flour, and the preservative sulphur dioxide. Sulphur dioxide is a basic preservative and not an ultra-processing marker like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or refined industrial syrups. No industrial formulations or UPF-defining additives are present, so this muesli is not classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.

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

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