The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several UPF ingredients and additives, including palm oil, vegetable fats (palm, palm kernel), emulsifier: lecithins (soya), vanillin (an added flavouring), and barley-maize malt extract.

Yes — Nutella Biscuits by Ferrero is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains several UPF ingredients and additives, including palm oil, vegetable fats (palm, palm kernel), emulsifier: lecithins (soya), vanillin (an added flavouring), and barley-maize malt extract. These are industrial ingredients and additives characteristic of NOVA ultra-processed foods.
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.
