What You Should Know

You'd likely spot this compact white chocolate bar in the specialty chocolate aisle, at the checkout as an impulse treat, or brought out for a cozy night in. It feels indulgent and a bit nostalgic—creamy, sweet, and meant for small moments of pleasure—and the ingredients and processing (refined sugar and milk powders, conching/tempering and an emulsifier for smooth texture) point to a manufactured processed confection rather than a whole-food ingredient.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Made from refined ingredients (sugar, milk powders, cocoa butter) and a food emulsifier with industrial processing steps for texture and shelf stability, but lacking the multiple industrial additives and formulations typical of ultra-processed products, so it aligns with NOVA group 3 (processed foods).
