Yes — salted caramel Vollmilchschokolade is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This salted caramel milk chocolate is ultra-processed because it contains the pre-identified UPF ingredients in the caramelized almond component: glucose syrup, sunflower lecithins (an emulsifier), and natural vanilla flavoring. Sunflower lecithins also appear separately in the chocolate. These industrially processed ingredients and additives meet the stated NOVA-based criteria for UPF classification. The remaining ingredients, such as sugar, whole milk powder, cocoa butter, cocoa paste, almonds, butter, sea salt, lactose, and vanilla flavor extract, do not independently determine the classification.
