What You Should Know

You’d spot this organic mixed berry cereal bar in the grab-and-go/snack aisle or the breakfast bar shelf, often picked up for rushed mornings, lunchboxes, or road trips. The organic labeling and fruit filling give a wholesome, slightly nostalgic fruit-bar vibe, but the chewy texture and long shelf-life are delivered by industrial syrups, gums and emulsifiers rather than whole-fruit preservation. Those ingredients and the engineered filling signal ultra-processing (NOVA 4): reconstituted fruit, added sweeteners and texturizers that shape flavor and mouthfeel.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains multiple industrial ingredients and additives (organic glucose syrup, isomalto-oligosaccharides, glycerin, emulsifiers, xanthan/guar gums, refined oils) and a manufactured fruit filling, which are characteristic of ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4). The product is formulated for texture, sweetness and shelf stability rather than minimally processed whole foods.
