Berry Granola

Barcode 5099874328117

Yes — Berry Granola is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday, despite its wholesome ingredients.

This product is ultra-processed because it contains golden syrup, which indicates industrially processed syrup, and natural flavouring, an extracted flavour additive. The seasoning also contains dextrose, an industrially extracted and refined sugar. These ingredients are sufficient for a UPF classification, although the oats, seeds, nuts, fruit, honey, and basic sunflower and rapeseed oils are not UPF on their own.
