What You Should Know

Found in the cereal aisle or the organic/grains section and likely pulled from the pantry for a quick weekday or weekend breakfast, this box evokes a wholesome, mildly nostalgic morning vibe. The ingredient list of whole flours, bran and flakes suggests a crunchy, hearty texture from milled and flaked grains, while added cane sugar, barley malt extract and honey point to some processing for flavor — more processed than a plain whole grain but not a heavily engineered snack.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Mostly whole grain flours and simple sweeteners indicate conventional processing (milling, flaking) and added sugars; absence of long ingredient list of additives or industrial formulations places it in NOVA 3 (processed foods) rather than ultra-processed NOVA 4.
