Yes — Chocolate Malt is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains multiple industrial additives and formulations, including: palm oil (a highly processed refined oil), dried glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar), emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides), stabilisers E340ii and E452i, anti-caking agent E551, and added flavour/texture modifiers. These meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.

Yes — Chocolate Malt by Horlicks is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains multiple industrial additives and formulations, including: palm oil (a highly processed refined oil), dried glucose syrup (an industrially refined sugar), emulsifier E471 (mono- and diglycerides), stabilisers E340ii and E452i, anti-caking agent E551, and added flavour/texture modifiers. These meet NOVA criteria for ultra-processed foods.
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.
