Not Ultra-Processed

No — Tesco Finest five grain muesli is not ultra-processed.

The ingredients are grains, dried fruits (with sulphur dioxide as a preservative), nuts, seeds, quinoa and coconut. Sulphur dioxide is a simple preservative, not an industrial formulation like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, or inverted syrups. No ultra-processed additives or industrially processed sugars are present, so this is not classified as UPF under the given NOVA-style criteria.

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