Yes — Biscotti is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains several industrial additives and highly processed ingredients according to NOVA: palm oil (a highly refined palm fruit oil), glucose syrup (an industrially extracted refined sugar syrup), lecithins as emulsifiers, and added flavourings/arômes. The presence of these ultra-processed ingredients makes the overall product UPF even though it also contains basic ingredients like wheat flour, sugar, eggs, and milk powder.
