Yes — Chocolate is ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed; best enjoyed occasionally rather than as an everyday choice.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrially processed ingredients and additives: pea protein, medium-chain triglyceride powder from coconut, natural flavourings, sunflower lecithin (emulsifier), gellan gum (thickener), and sucralose (sweetener). The fortified vitamin and mineral blend also contributes to its highly formulated character. These ingredients go beyond minimally processed culinary ingredients and are characteristic of an industrial formulation.

Yes — Chocolate by Huel 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: pea protein, medium-chain triglyceride powder from coconut, natural flavourings, sunflower lecithin (emulsifier), gellan gum (thickener), and sucralose (sweetener). The fortified vitamin and mineral blend also contributes to its highly formulated character. These ingredients go beyond minimally processed culinary ingredients and are characteristic of an industrial formulation.
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.
