No — Hazelnut Dark Chocolate is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are minimally processed foods (cocoa paste, hazelnuts, coconut sugar, cocoa butter, lucuma, vanilla). No industrial additives, refined syrups, or cosmetic processing agents are present, so it does not meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.
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.
