Yes — Choco pops is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrially processed ingredients and additives, including glucose syrup (an industrially extracted sugar), emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), flavouring (industrial flavoring agents), and barley malt extract (an industrial flavor enhancer). These ingredients go beyond basic culinary components and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Choco pops by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrially processed ingredients and additives, including glucose syrup (an industrially extracted sugar), emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids), flavouring (industrial flavoring agents), and barley malt extract (an industrial flavor enhancer). These ingredients go beyond basic culinary components and fit NOVA’s definition of 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.
