Yes — Chocolate Egg Cookies by Schär is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include several industrial additives and extracted substances: sorbitol (humectant), mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (emulsifier), guar gum and xanthan gum (thickeners), as well as refined palm oil and added “natürliches Aroma” (natural flavor). These are characteristic of NOVA group 4 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.
