What You Should Know

You'd spot this box in the cereal aisle or natural foods section and pull it for a light, everyday breakfast or an on-the-go snack—think quick bowls with fruit or a childhood-style crunchy spoonful. The vibe is wholesome and slightly nostalgic (plain puffed rice feels simple and clean), while the puffing process gives airy texture and shelf stability; because the ingredient list is just whole grain brown rice, it leans away from ultraprocessed formulations despite industrial processing.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from a single whole-grain ingredient but transformed by industrial puffing, this cereal is processed to achieve texture and shelf-stability; the absence of additives or industrial formulations keeps it out of NOVA 4, placing it in NOVA 3 (processed).
