Yes — Soft Bakes Choco Hazelnut Flavour by belVita is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives: modified starch, palm oil, soya lecithins (an emulsifier), flavourings, and dextrose. These ingredients are characteristic of industrially formulated foods under the NOVA classification. Maltitol bulking agents and glycerol humectant also contribute to its highly formulated nature.
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.
