Yes — Muesli with cocoa and berries is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients/additives that fall under NOVA UPF criteria: oligofructose syrup (an industrially processed sweetener/fiber), sunflower oil with antioxidant E306 (tocopherol as an additive), and palm kernel oil (a highly refined industrial fat). These move the product into the ultra-processed category even though many base ingredients (wholegrain flakes, cocoa, fruits) are minimally processed.
Other breakfast cereals & bars Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Muesli with cocoa and berries by Ikea is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients/additives that fall under NOVA UPF criteria: oligofructose syrup (an industrially processed sweetener/fiber), sunflower oil with antioxidant E306 (tocopherol as an additive), and palm kernel oil (a highly refined industrial fat). These move the product into the ultra-processed category even though many base ingredients (wholegrain flakes, cocoa, fruits) are minimally processed.
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.
