No — SALTY DARK CHOCOLATE is not ultra-processed.
This chocolate contains only basic culinary ingredients (cocoa mass, cocoa butter, unrefined coconut sugar, sea salt) with no industrial additives, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or refined industrial sweeteners. These are minimally processed ingredients consistent with traditional chocolate making, so it is not classified as ultra-processed (NOVA).

No — SALTY DARK CHOCOLATE by Hu is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This chocolate contains only basic culinary ingredients (cocoa mass, cocoa butter, unrefined coconut sugar, sea salt) with no industrial additives, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, or refined industrial sweeteners. These are minimally processed ingredients consistent with traditional chocolate making, so it is not classified as ultra-processed (NOVA).
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.
