Barcode 96187159
Scanned  16  times by Nomi users
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Chocolate Nut & Seed Bar is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredients include glucose syrup (an industrially processed sugar) and emulsifier (soya lecithin) in the dark chocolate. These additives and refined ingredients place it in the NOVA ultra-processed category, despite the presence of many whole-food ingredients like nuts, seeds, coconut, and dried fruit.
