Yes — Bars Fruit & Nut with Milk Chocolate Multipack is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives and formulations such as: emulsifiers (soy lecithin), glucose syrup, humectant (glycerol), added flavouring (arôme), and malted barley extract (extrait d'orge maltée). These additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and match NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

Yes — Bars Fruit & Nut with Milk Chocolate Multipack by Alpen is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives and formulations such as: emulsifiers (soy lecithin), glucose syrup, humectant (glycerol), added flavouring (arôme), and malted barley extract (extrait d'orge maltée). These additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and match NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.
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.
