Chocolate Crisp High-Protein Cereal

Barcode 5063334027650
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Chocolate Crisp High-Protein Cereal is ultra-processed.

UPF: industrial flavourings and formulated protein components make it unsuitable for everyday eating.

This product is ultra-processed because it contains barley malt extract and flavouring, which are industrially processed flavour-enhancing ingredients. It also contains lecithins as an emulsifier in the dark chocolate; emulsifiers are industrial additives associated with ultra-processed formulations. The protein crisp is an industrially formulated component made from wheat protein and wheat flour. Sunflower oil and tocopherol-rich extract do not independently determine the classification.
