No — Dark 75% madagascar ginger & turmeric is not ultra-processed.
The ingredients are basic culinary ingredients only: cocoa mass, cane sugar, cocoa butter, crystallised ginger (ginger, sugar), and turmeric powder. There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, flavorings, or other markers of ultra-processing as defined by NOVA, so this is not classified as ultra-processed.

No — Dark 75% madagascar ginger & turmeric by Waitrose is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are basic culinary ingredients only: cocoa mass, cane sugar, cocoa butter, crystallised ginger (ginger, sugar), and turmeric powder. There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, flavorings, or other markers of ultra-processing as defined by NOVA, so this is not classified as ultra-processed.
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.
