Yes — Extra dark 74% Cocoa by fin CARRÉ is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This dark chocolate is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives, specifically the emulsifier lecithins (soya) and natural vanilla flavouring, which are characteristic of NOVA 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.
