No — Dark Chocolate Date Bar by M&S Food is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The bar contains date paste, dark chocolate made from cocoa mass, sugar, and cocoa butter, coconut oil, and salt. These are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, flavor enhancers, or refined syrups. Therefore, it is not classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.
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.
