Yes — Crunchy Peanut Butter is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains palm kernel oil and soya lecithin. Palm kernel oil is a highly refined industrial oil, and soya lecithin is an extracted emulsifier. The product also contains soy protein isolate, chicory fibre, tapioca starch, and cocoa powder, which indicate further industrial formulation. Honey, sugar, rice syrup, peanuts, almonds, and milk powder alone would not necessarily make it ultra-processed, but the industrial oils and emulsifier do.

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.
