What You Should Know

You’d spot this box in the cereal aisle or on a kitchen counter at breakfast — an organic, whole-grain flake that leans into a wholesome, slightly nostalgic morning vibe. It tastes like homey toasted grains but includes cane sugar and barley malt for sweetness; the flaked texture and added sugars reflect industrial processing steps for crunch and shelf stability, more processed than plain whole grain ingredients.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Contains multiple milled/flaked grains and added sweeteners (cane sugar, barley malt) and is manufactured for texture and shelf life; it shows clear industrial processing but lacks the cosmetic additives and complex industrial formulations typical of NOVA 4 ultra-processed foods.
