Muesli with cocoa and berries

Barcode 7315120007512

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.
