Yes — Sparkling Energy Drink is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This is a carbonated fruit-and-tea energy drink. It is classified as ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring, an industrially isolated flavour additive, and steviol glycosides, an extracted high-intensity sweetener. The added vitamins, minerals, caffeine, fruit juices from concentrate, cane sugar, and citric acid do not independently determine the classification.
