Granola Bar

Barcode 5060455491001
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Granola Bar is ultra-processed.

A convenient snack, but not ideal for everyday eating.

This is a granola-style bar made from oats, seeds, quinoa, buckwheat, cacao, and traditional sweeteners. However, it is ultra-processed because it contains soluble fibre, a pre-identified UPF ingredient and industrially isolated fibre. Vegan chocolate may also contain industrially formulated components, but soluble fibre alone is sufficient for the UPF classification. The other listed ingredients, including brown rice syrup, coconut sugar, vegetable glycerine, and calcium carbonate, do not independently require a UPF classification under the specified guidance.

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