Yes — Milk Chocolate Popcorn Bar is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include several industrial additives and processed ingredients: fructooligosaccharides (industrial fiber/sweetener), emulsifier soya lecithins, natural flavouring, dextrose and glucose syrup (industrially refined sugars), stabiliser sorbitols (polyol), and malted wheat flour (processed flavoring). Under NOVA, the presence of these additives and refined syrups is enough to categorize the product as ultra-processed.
