Yes — Fairtrade Chocolate Box is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives. These include glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar), barley malt extract (used as a processed flavor enhancer/sweetener), palm fat and palm kernel oil/fat (highly refined oils), and multiple emulsifiers such as soya lecithin and E492, as well as glazing agent pectins. Under NOVA, the presence of such additives and refined ingredients places this product in the ultra-processed foods group.

Yes — Fairtrade Chocolate Box by Mars is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients and additives. These include glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar), barley malt extract (used as a processed flavor enhancer/sweetener), palm fat and palm kernel oil/fat (highly refined oils), and multiple emulsifiers such as soya lecithin and E492, as well as glazing agent pectins. Under NOVA, the presence of such additives and refined ingredients places this product in the ultra-processed foods group.
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.
