No — Cocoa Powder by Bake with Jane Asher, TJM, Home Bargains is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Cocoa powder is a minimally processed ingredient. Potassium carbonate is a basic acidity regulator and does not make the product ultra-processed under the specified criteria. No industrial formulation or UPF-defining additive is present.
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.
