Yes — Intense Orange Dark Chocolate is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients/additives: glucose-fructose syrup, dextrose, and emulsifier (soya lecithins). These are extracted/industrial additives typical of NOVA ultra-processed foods. All are used within the candied orange peel or as an emulsifier in the chocolate. Even though the base ingredients (sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, orange peel, lemon juice, vanilla extract) are not UPF by themselves, the presence of these UPF additives makes the overall product ultra-processed.

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.
