No — Hi8 Muesli Original is not ultra-processed.

The ingredient list consists of whole grains (rolled oats, wheat flakes, rye flakes, oat flour, rice flour), dried fruits (raisins, apricots, dates) with a small amount of sunflower oil and sulphur dioxide as a preservative, and seeds (sunflower and pumpkin). These are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients. Sulphur dioxide is a common preservative for dried fruit but, on its own in this context, does not make the product an ultra-processed industrial formulation according to the provided criteria. No refined industrial sugars, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, or other ultra-processed additives are present.

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

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.
