No — Dark Chocolate by Lindt is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are cocoa mass (pâte de cacao), cocoa butter, low‑fat cocoa powder, and sugar. These are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives such as emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, or refined syrups. Under NOVA, this is processed but not 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.
