Yes — Instant Hot Chocolate by Cadbury is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Contains multiple ultra-processed ingredients and additives, including glucose syrup (industrially refined sugar syrup), palm oil (highly processed refined oil), soluble maize fibre (industrial isolate), emulsifiers (E442, E471), thickener (E407 – carrageenan), anti-caking agent (E551), and added flavourings. These industrial formulations and additives classify it as an ultra-processed food under 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.
