Yes — Bonne Maman Chocolate and Orange Spread is ultra-processed.
The product contains industrial additives and ingredients associated with ultra-processing. Specifically: lecithin (an emulsifier) and fruit pectins (used as a gelling agent) are extracted additives; these are markers of ultra-processed foods in the NOVA system. Therefore, even though it includes some whole-food ingredients like oranges and cocoa, it should be classified as UPF.

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.
