What You Should Know

You’d find this gluten-free oatmeal crème sandwich in the snack or specialty health-food aisle — an easy grab for lunchboxes, road trips, or a nostalgic afternoon treat. It feels indulgent and slightly wholesome by marketing, but the soft sandwich texture and creamy filling come from industrially formulated components (refined sugars, starch/stabilizers, palm oil, and flavor/emulsifier additives), which are typical of highly processed packaged snacks.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although it uses some whole-food ingredients (oat flour, dates, flax), the product is a ready-to-eat industrial formulation containing refined sugars, palm oil, tapioca starch, powdered sugar, natural flavors and emulsifiers — characteristics consistent with NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed).
