365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic Golden Flakes & Oat Clusters, 12 Ounce
What You Should Know
You’d spot this in the cereal aisle or the organic foods section, a grab-and-go choice for busy breakfasts or tossing into yogurt. Packaging and oat clusters give a wholesome, slightly nostalgic breakfast vibe, but the sweet, crunchy texture and ingredient list reflect industrial processing. The presence of added sugars, oils, starches, ‘natural flavor’ and shelf-stability agents hints at formulation and manufacturing steps (flaking/extrusion, cluster binding) typical of ultra-processed products.
