Yes — Vegan smooth chocolate is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial ingredients/additives: maltodextrin (an industrially processed refined carbohydrate), emulsifier (soya lecithin), and natural flavourings. These ingredients go beyond basic culinary processing and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods.
Other chocolate & sweets Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Vegan smooth chocolate by Lindt is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial ingredients/additives: maltodextrin (an industrially processed refined carbohydrate), emulsifier (soya lecithin), and natural flavourings. These ingredients go beyond basic culinary processing and fit NOVA’s definition of ultra-processed foods.
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.
