Yes — Chocolate Truffles is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This is a chocolate truffle product containing industrially processed additives and sugars. Soya lecithin is an emulsifier, and it appears in both the milk chocolate and dark chocolate components. Fructose and glucose syrup are refined, isolated sugars considered ultra-processed. Natural flavouring is an extracted flavour additive that also contributes to the ultra-processed classification. The product also contains marc de champagne and alcohol, but these are not the factors determining the UPF classification.
