Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Quaker, Simply Granola scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor (Contains Coconut Components)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Breakfast Cereal, this product is more processed than about 40% of the 9,419 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
