Yes — Organic Milk Chocolate is ultra-processed.
Enjoy occasionally; it contains an industrial emulsifier.
This is ultra-processed because it contains soya lecithin, an extracted emulsifier used to combine and stabilize the chocolate ingredients. Cane sugar, milk powder, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, and vanilla extract are not the reason for the classification.
Similar products that aren't ultra-processed — swap and keep the flavour.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Organic Milk Chocolate by Green & Black's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is ultra-processed because it contains soya lecithin, an extracted emulsifier used to combine and stabilize the chocolate ingredients. Cane sugar, milk powder, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, and vanilla extract are not the reason for the classification.
Nomi has reviewed similar products that are not ultra-processed, including Dark milk chocolate by Tesco, single origin milk chocolate by Marks & Spencer, Milk Single Origin Chocolate by Waitrose. See the healthier alternatives above for details.
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.
