Yes — Salted dark chocolate almonds is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes emulsifier (soya lecithin) and natural flavouring, which are industrial additives used to modify texture and flavor. According to the criteria, the presence of these additives makes the overall product UPF, even though it also contains basic ingredients like almonds, cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, salt, and cocoa powder.
