Yes — KitKat Chunky by Nestlé is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Contains ultra-processed ingredients/additives including palm oil (a highly refined vegetable fat), emulsifier (lecithins), and unspecified natural flavourings, which make it an ultra-processed food according to NOVA.
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.
