Yes — Extra fine dark chocolate is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid but indicates ultra-processing. The combined ingredient string includes pre-identified UPF ingredients: "cocoa mass nut sugar cocoa butter cocoa powder flavouring. dark chocolate contains cocoa solids 72% minimum". In particular, the use of unspecified "flavouring" is an industrial additive, and the pre-flagged mixture itself has been designated as ultra-processed, so this chocolate must be classified as UPF.
Other chocolate & sweets Nomi has checked — these ones aren't 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.
