Yes — Sea Salt Chocolate is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains the emulsifier lecithins (soya), which is an industrial additive used to modify texture and improve shelf life. According to the given rules, emulsifiers are UPF ingredients and any product containing them must be classified as ultra-processed. Other ingredients like sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, sea salt, and vanilla extract are not UPF on their own, but the presence of lecithins (soya) makes the overall product UPF.
