Yes — Dairy Milk Wholenut is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes industrial additives and refined ingredients: emulsifiers (E442, E476), palm oil (a highly refined vegetable fat), shea vegetable fat, and unspecified flavourings. These are hallmark NOVA ultra-processed ingredients, even though the product also contains basic ingredients like milk, sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, and hazelnuts.
