Yes — Milk Chocolate Spread is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This milk chocolate spread is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: maltitol, an industrially produced sweetener; vegetable oil including sustainable palm oil, with palm fruit oil being highly refined and processed; lecithin, an emulsifier; and natural flavouring, an extracted flavour additive. These ingredients indicate substantial industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Milk Chocolate Spread by Jim Jams is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This milk chocolate spread is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: maltitol, an industrially produced sweetener; vegetable oil including sustainable palm oil, with palm fruit oil being highly refined and processed; lecithin, an emulsifier; and natural flavouring, an extracted flavour additive. These ingredients indicate substantial industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing.
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.
