What You Should Know

You'd likely find this box in the natural/healthy cereal aisle or gluten-free section — a grab for shoppers who want a grain-free, 'better-for-you' take on a frosted breakfast treat. It gives a nostalgic, sweet cereal vibe but the ingredient mix (chickpea, tapioca, pea protein, added cane sugar, natural flavors, monk fruit) and use of isolated ingredients point to heavy processing to achieve that crunchy, sweet texture typical of ultraprocessed cereals.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

The product contains industrially processed components (pea protein isolate, tapioca starch), added sugar and undefined 'natural flavors', which are classic markers of ultra-processed foods; the formulation and texture are achieved through significant industrial processing rather than simple culinary preparation.
