Yes — Tonys Chocolate milk pecan caramel crunch is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients/additives: glucose syrup (refined industrial sugar), malt extract (industrially processed flavoring), emulsifier (soya lecithin), and a formulated crunchy biscuit component. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients per NOVA.

Yes — Tonys Chocolate milk pecan caramel crunch by Tony's Chocolonely is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial ingredients/additives: glucose syrup (refined industrial sugar), malt extract (industrially processed flavoring), emulsifier (soya lecithin), and a formulated crunchy biscuit component. These go beyond basic culinary ingredients per NOVA.
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.
