No — green and blacks organic intense dark chocolate is not ultra-processed.
The only listed ingredient is vanilla, which is a traditional cooking extract and not an ultra-processed additive by NOVA criteria. With no industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids indicated, this ingredient list would not classify the product as ultra-processed. Note: in reality, dark chocolate typically contains cocoa mass and sugar, but based solely on the provided array, it is not UPF.

No — green and blacks organic intense dark chocolate is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The only listed ingredient is vanilla, which is a traditional cooking extract and not an ultra-processed additive by NOVA criteria. With no industrial additives, refined syrups, or processing aids indicated, this ingredient list would not classify the product as ultra-processed. Note: in reality, dark chocolate typically contains cocoa mass and sugar, but based solely on the provided array, it is not UPF.
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.
