Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sweetened Corn & Oat Cereal scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Red 40, +1 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Bht): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.
