No — 70% chocolate is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple, traditional chocolate ingredients.
This dark chocolate contains cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, and vanilla. These are basic food ingredients, and vanilla is a traditional flavoring extract rather than an industrial additive. It contains no artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, refined syrups, hydrogenated or interesterified oils, or other industrial formulations that would qualify it as ultra-processed under NOVA.

No — 70% chocolate by Lindt & Sprüngli is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This dark chocolate contains cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, and vanilla. These are basic food ingredients, and vanilla is a traditional flavoring extract rather than an industrial additive. It contains no artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, refined syrups, hydrogenated or interesterified oils, or other industrial formulations that would qualify it 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.
