Potato Cereal Snack

Barcode 5057545716021
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Potato Cereal Snack is ultra-processed.

This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives, including reconstructed dried potato flakes (an industrially processed base), emulsifiers and stabilisers such as E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), whey powder, and dried skimmed milk used in a processed savoury mix. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation rather than a simple culinary preparation.
