Yes — Chocolate milk is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This chocolate milk is ultra-processed because it contains artificial sweeteners—sodium cyclamate, acesulfame-K, and saccharin—which are industrial additives. Carrageenan is a traditional seaweed-derived gelling agent and does not by itself make the product ultra-processed. Sugar, skimmed milk, cocoa powder, and salt are not the determining UPF ingredients.

Yes — Chocolate milk by Millar Moo is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This chocolate milk is ultra-processed because it contains artificial sweeteners—sodium cyclamate, acesulfame-K, and saccharin—which are industrial additives. Carrageenan is a traditional seaweed-derived gelling agent and does not by itself make the product ultra-processed. Sugar, skimmed milk, cocoa powder, and salt are not the determining UPF ingredients.
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.
