Yes — Chocolate Hazelnut Spread is ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed; best enjoyed occasionally rather than every day.
This chocolate hazelnut spread is ultra-processed because it contains palm oil, which is a highly refined and processed oil, as well as lecithin emulsifiers and vanillin flavoring. These industrial additives and the refined palm oil are characteristic of ultra-processed formulations.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
