Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Multiple industrial ingredients (fractionated palm kernel oil, processed-with-alkali chocolate, emulsifiers, milk powders, and added sugars) and a ready-to-eat, formulation-driven product indicate NOVA group 4 (ultraprocessed). These components and processing steps are used to standardize texture, extend shelf life, and intensify sweetness.
