Yes — Apple & cinnamon porridge oat bar is ultra-processed.
This bar is ultra-processed because it contains golden syrup, which is an industrially processed inverted/refined syrup falling into the NOVA ultra-processed category. Other ingredients such as wholegrain oats, butter, seeds, dried apple, and cinnamon are minimally processed and do not change the classification.

Yes — Apple & cinnamon porridge oat bar by Stoats is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This bar is ultra-processed because it contains golden syrup, which is an industrially processed inverted/refined syrup falling into the NOVA ultra-processed category. Other ingredients such as wholegrain oats, butter, seeds, dried apple, and cinnamon are minimally processed and do not change the classification.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
