No — Dark chocolate is not ultra-processed.
Great choice! Made with simple chocolate ingredients.
This dark chocolate is not ultra-processed. Its main ingredients—cocoa mass, sugar, and cocoa butter—are basic chocolate-making ingredients, while vanilla extract is a traditional flavoring extract. Soy lecithin is used as an emulsifier, which can sometimes indicate ultra-processing, but in this product it does not change the overall classification.

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.
