Yes — Mars triple treat is ultra-processed.
The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients and additives according to NOVA, including: glucose syrup, dextrose monohydrate, barley and malt extract, palm fat (highly refined palm oil), emulsifiers (soya lecithin, E471 mono- and diglycerides), humectant E422 (industrial additive), added flavourings and colour, and whey permeate/powder used as industrial dairy fractions. Any one of these would make it UPF; together they clearly classify it as an ultra-processed food.

Yes — Mars triple treat is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains several ultra-processed ingredients and additives according to NOVA, including: glucose syrup, dextrose monohydrate, barley and malt extract, palm fat (highly refined palm oil), emulsifiers (soya lecithin, E471 mono- and diglycerides), humectant E422 (industrial additive), added flavourings and colour, and whey permeate/powder used as industrial dairy fractions. Any one of these would make it UPF; together they clearly classify it as an ultra-processed food.
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.
