Yes — Extra dark chocolate created for bakers by Dr. Oetker is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains the emulsifier soya lecithins, which is an industrial additive used to modify texture and stability according to the NOVA classification guidance.
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.
