Yes — Nutella by Ferrero is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of NOVA group 4, including palm oil (huile de palme, a highly refined oil), emulsifiers (lécithines de soja), and an artificial flavouring (vanilline).
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.
