No — 100% cacao by Ombar is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains only unroasted organic cacao (cocoa solids 100%), which is a single whole-food ingredient without industrial additives, refined sugars, or processing aids typical of ultra-processed foods according to NOVA.
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.
