Yes — Extra fine dark chocolate is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This dark chocolate is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the pre-identified UPF ingredients cocoa mass, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, flavouring, and nut sugar. The flavouring is an industrial additive, while the cocoa-derived ingredients are identified as UPF contributors for this product. These ingredients indicate industrial processing beyond basic culinary ingredients.

Yes — Extra fine dark chocolate by Marks And Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This dark chocolate is classified as ultra-processed because it contains the pre-identified UPF ingredients cocoa mass, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, flavouring, and nut sugar. The flavouring is an industrial additive, while the cocoa-derived ingredients are identified as UPF contributors for this product. These ingredients indicate industrial processing beyond basic culinary ingredients.
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.
