Yes — Dark chocolate is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This 70% Dark Chocolate is classified as ultra-processed because it contains lecithins (soya), an industrial emulsifier, and vanilla extract, identified here as a UPF ingredient. These additives indicate industrial formulation beyond basic chocolate ingredients. Sugar, cocoa mass, and cocoa butter are not UPF ingredients on their own.
Other chocolate & sweets Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Dark chocolate by Moser Roth is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This 70% Dark Chocolate is classified as ultra-processed because it contains lecithins (soya), an industrial emulsifier, and vanilla extract, identified here as a UPF ingredient. These additives indicate industrial formulation beyond basic chocolate ingredients. Sugar, cocoa mass, and cocoa butter are not UPF ingredients on their own.
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.
