Yes — Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar is ultra-processed.
This product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial ingredients and additives including vegetable fats (palm, shea), emulsifiers (e442, e476), and flavourings. These are characteristic of NOVA group 4 ultra-processed foods. Other ingredients like sugar, milk, cocoa butter, and cocoa mass are not UPF on their own, but the presence of the listed additives is sufficient to classify the overall product as UPF.
