No — cocoa powder by Suma is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid and contains only cocoa, a single minimally processed ingredient. There are no industrial additives, refined syrups, emulsifiers, flavourings, or other markers of ultra-processing according to NOVA.
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.
