What You Should Know

You'd spot this box in the cereal aisle or the organic section and pull it for a quick weekday breakfast or a cozy weekend bowl. It projects a wholesome, slightly nostalgic vibe — whole-grain flours, quinoa and honey evoke homey, healthy breakfasts while cane sugar adds sweet familiarity. Despite recognizable ingredients, the flaked, shelf-stable format and added sugars/malt point to industrial processing typical of ultra-processed cereal products.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although ingredients are mostly recognizable whole grains and sweeteners, the product is a shelf-stable flaked cereal with added sugars and malt and is produced by industrial processes (flaking/extrusion/processing), which aligns with NOVA group 4 (ultra-processed).
