No — Dark Chocolate Date Bar is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, minimally processed ingredients.
This is a minimally processed bar made primarily from date paste and dark chocolate. The dark chocolate contains cocoa mass, sugar, and cocoa butter, while coconut oil and salt are basic culinary ingredients. No industrial additives, refined syrups, flavourings, emulsifiers, or other UPF markers are present. The possible presence of fruit stones is a safety note, not an ultra-processing indicator.

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.
