No — THE PANTRY COCOA POWDER FOR DELICIOUSLY TASTY TREA is not ultra-processed.
This cocoa powder contains cocoa powder plus basic acidity regulators (potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate). These are simple processing aids/mineral salts, not the kind of industrial formulations, refined syrups, flavorings, emulsifiers, or texturizing agents that characterize ultra-processed foods under NOVA. Therefore it is not classified as ultra-processed.

No — THE PANTRY COCOA POWDER FOR DELICIOUSLY TASTY TREA by The Pantry is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This cocoa powder contains cocoa powder plus basic acidity regulators (potassium hydroxide and potassium carbonate). These are simple processing aids/mineral salts, not the kind of industrial formulations, refined syrups, flavorings, emulsifiers, or texturizing agents that characterize ultra-processed foods under NOVA. Therefore it is not classified as ultra-processed.
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.
