Yes — High Protein Choco Powder is ultra-processed.
The product contains “flavouring,” which is an added industrial flavoring agent. According to NOVA, added flavorings make a product ultra-processed, even if the base ingredients (cocoa, dates, chia, linseed, maca, hemp protein) are minimally processed or whole foods.

Yes — High Protein Choco Powder by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains “flavouring,” which is an added industrial flavoring agent. According to NOVA, added flavorings make a product ultra-processed, even if the base ingredients (cocoa, dates, chia, linseed, maca, hemp protein) are minimally processed or whole 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.
