High Protein Granola

Barcode 5060043225261

Yes — High Protein Granola is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives. Specifically, it includes soya protein flakes (made with soya protein isolate and brown rice syrup), soya protein crispies (with soya protein isolate), chocolate chunks containing an emulsifier (soya lecithin) and natural vanilla flavouring, fructose (an industrially refined sugar), and natural flavouring. These extracted/isolated ingredients and additives go beyond basic culinary processing and therefore make the product UPF according to the NOVA classification.
