Chocolate Rice Cereal

Barcode 5063445808230

Yes — Chocolate Rice Cereal is ultra-processed.

The ingredient list is valid. The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, which is an industrially extracted and refined sugar and is explicitly defined as an ultra-processed ingredient in the NOVA-based rules. This alone is sufficient to make the whole product UPF. Other ingredients like rice, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and added vitamins/minerals are not UPF by themselves.
