Yes — Belgian Chocolate Ice Cream is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include soy lecithin (an emulsifier) and natural vanilla flavouring, which are industrial additives according to NOVA. All other ingredients are basic foods, but the presence of these additives makes the overall product UPF.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
