Yes — Lapin d’or chocolat au lait is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. This product is ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial ingredients/additives used in ultra-processed foods: emulsifiant (lécithine de soja), extrait de malt d'orge (malted barley extract, an industrial flavor enhancer), and arôme (added flavouring). These additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and are characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods.
