Yes — TREK Biscoff High-Protein Bar is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, as it contains several ultra-processed ingredients.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: soya protein, humectant glycerol, palm oil, natural flavourings, and the sweetener steviol glycosides from stevia. It also contains emulsifiers (lecithins), oligofructose, and concentrated corn fibre, which are characteristic of industrial formulations. These ingredients make the product a UPF under the NOVA classification.

Yes — TREK Biscoff High-Protein Bar by TREK is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: soya protein, humectant glycerol, palm oil, natural flavourings, and the sweetener steviol glycosides from stevia. It also contains emulsifiers (lecithins), oligofructose, and concentrated corn fibre, which are characteristic of industrial formulations. These ingredients make the product a UPF under the NOVA 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.
