Yes — Chocolate Chip Oat Biscuit Breaks is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: dark chocolate chips with an emulsifier (soya lecithins), natural vanilla flavouring, sustainable palm fruit oil, partially inverted refiners syrup, Lyle’s golden syrup used with the inverted syrup, and natural cocoa flavouring. The partially inverted refiners syrup and combined golden syrup indicate industrially processed sugar syrups; palm fruit oil is highly refined, while lecithins and added flavourings are industrial additives. The pre-identified dark chocolate chips and dark chocolate powder also contribute to the UPF classification.
