Ingredients are counted from the ingredients lists on Tesco own-brand listings. Each named ingredient counts once, including the parts of compound ingredients such as chocolate or crisped rice, and the vitamins and minerals added as fortification count as one.

Manufactured ingredients are those made by industrial processing rather than found in a kitchen, such as glucose syrup, protein isolates, added fibres, emulsifiers and flavourings. The share of manufactured ingredients is one of the signs Boone uses to judge whether a food is ultra-processed.

Frequently asked questions

Which Tesco own-brand cereal has the most ingredients?+

Tesco Finest Fruit, Nut & Seed Muesli and Tesco High Protein Granola share the most, with 20 ingredients each. Tesco Finest Fruit, Nut & Seed Muesli has no manufactured ingredients; Tesco High Protein Granola has 7 manufactured ingredients.

Which Tesco own-brand cereals have the fewest ingredients?+

5 have just one: Grower's Harvest Porridge Oats, Tesco Easy Oats Original Porridge Sachets, Tesco Oat Bran, Tesco Organic Porridge Oats, Tesco Scottish Porridge Oats.

What counts as a manufactured ingredient?+

An ingredient made by industrial processing rather than found in a home kitchen, such as glucose syrup, wheat protein, chicory fibre, emulsifiers and flavourings.

Does a long ingredients list make a cereal unhealthy?+

Not on its own. Nuts, seeds and dried fruit add to the count. The share of manufactured ingredients says more about how processed a cereal is than the total.

Where does this data come from?+

The nutrition panels and ingredients lists on Tesco own-brand cereal listings at tesco.com, collected in October 2026, including Tesco Finest, Free From, Stockwell & Co. and Grower's Harvest. Branded cereals sold at Tesco, such as Kellogg's or Weetabix, are not included. Boone works out free sugar, manufactured ingredients and nutrient profiling scores from them.
