Yes — Brownie Bar is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This brownie bar is classified as ultra-processed because it contains soya lecithin, an industrially extracted emulsifier, in both the milk chocolate and dark chocolate. The other ingredients, including sugar, butter, eggs, cocoa, and fortified wheat flour, do not independently make it ultra-processed under the specified criteria.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Brownie Bar by Prêt is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This brownie bar is classified as ultra-processed because it contains soya lecithin, an industrially extracted emulsifier, in both the milk chocolate and dark chocolate. The other ingredients, including sugar, butter, eggs, cocoa, and fortified wheat flour, do not independently make it ultra-processed under the specified criteria.
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.
