Yes — Milk Chocolate is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This milk chocolate is classified as ultra-processed because it contains emulsifier (soya lecithin), an industrially extracted additive used to improve texture and stability. The other ingredients—sugar, dried whole milk, cocoa butter, and cocoa mass—do not independently trigger the UPF classification under the stated criteria.
Other crisps, snacks & nuts Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Milk Chocolate by Tony's Chocolonely is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This milk chocolate is classified as ultra-processed because it contains emulsifier (soya lecithin), an industrially extracted additive used to improve texture and stability. The other ingredients—sugar, dried whole milk, cocoa butter, and cocoa mass—do not independently trigger the UPF classification under the stated criteria.
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.
