Yes — Nutella is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This hazelnut cocoa spread is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, an industrially refined oil; emulsifier: lecithins (soya), an industrial emulsifier; and vanillin, an isolated flavoring additive. These ingredients are UPF indicators under the NOVA classification. Sugar, hazelnuts, milk powder, and cocoa are not the factors driving the classification.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Nutella by Ferrero,Nutella is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This hazelnut cocoa spread is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, an industrially refined oil; emulsifier: lecithins (soya), an industrial emulsifier; and vanillin, an isolated flavoring additive. These ingredients are UPF indicators under the NOVA classification. Sugar, hazelnuts, milk powder, and cocoa are not the factors driving the classification.
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.
