Yes — Ready to Bake Pains au Chocolat by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a ready-to-bake processed pastry, and it contains soya lecithin in the chocolate. Soya lecithin is an extracted emulsifier and therefore an industrial additive associated with ultra-processing under NOVA. These features classify the product as ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
