What You Should Know

You'd spot this box in the natural/organic cereal aisle or on a health-food shelf, grabbed for quick weekday breakfasts, school mornings, or a no-fuss brunch. It projects a wholesome, back-to-basics vibe—nutty, hearty and practical rather than indulgent. The short ingredient list of sprouted whole grains and flax with just sea salt and a natural rosemary extract suggests minimal additives; the grains are processed into a crunchy baked cereal form rather than heavily reformulated, which points away from ultra-processing.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from sprouted whole grains and seeds with only sea salt and a rosemary extract, the product uses few industrial additives but is a manufactured baked cereal; this indicates a processed food rather than unprocessed or ultra-processed.
