Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Organic Oat Meal scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Organic Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Organic Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 40% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.
