Yes — Caramel Almond & Sea salt bar is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several NOVA UPF ingredients and additives, including glucose syrup (an industrially extracted sugar), palm oil (highly refined), emulsifiers (sunflower lecithin, soya lecithin), and natural flavouring. These industrial formulations and additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and therefore make the overall product UPF.
