Yes — Kind Protein Dark Chocolate Nut is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, an industrially extracted and processed sugar classified as UPF. It also contains soya lecithin, an industrial emulsifier, and soya protein isolate, an extracted protein ingredient characteristic of industrial formulations. The remaining ingredients, such as nuts, cocoa, honey, salt, and vanilla extract, do not by themselves make the product UPF.

Yes — Kind Protein Dark Chocolate Nut by Kind is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, an industrially extracted and processed sugar classified as UPF. It also contains soya lecithin, an industrial emulsifier, and soya protein isolate, an extracted protein ingredient characteristic of industrial formulations. The remaining ingredients, such as nuts, cocoa, honey, salt, and vanilla extract, do not by themselves make the product UPF.
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.
