No — Sea Salt by Pico is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredients are cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar, sea salt, and vanilla pods. These are basic culinary ingredients without industrial additives, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or processed syrups. Therefore, the product is not considered ultra-processed according to 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.
