Yes — Rice cakes with milk choclate coating is ultra-processed.

The product is ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives. Specifically, the milk chocolate coating includes an emulsifier (lecithins), and the ingredient list separately lists “emulsifier: lecithins” again. Emulsifiers like lecithins are extracted, isolated additives used to modify texture and stability, which places the product in the ultra-processed category according to the NOVA classification. The presence of basic ingredients such as rice, brown rice, sea salt, sugar, whole milk powder, cocoa mass, and cocoa butter does not change this classification.
