Yes — Chocolate Bar is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains multiple industrial ingredients and additives. Specifically, palm oil (a highly refined oil), skimmed milk powder, modified whey, emulsifier (soya lecithin), flavourings, and sweetened condensed skimmed milk all indicate ultra-processing according to NOVA. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and involve industrial formulation and processing steps.
