Yes — Lemonade is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains several industrial additives: flavourings (industrial flavor additives), preservative E202 (potassium sorbate), acidity regulator E331 (sodium/citric salts), and preservative E242 (dimethyl dicarbonate). These additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and place the product in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Lemonade by Marks & Spencer is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list contains several industrial additives: flavourings (industrial flavor additives), preservative E202 (potassium sorbate), acidity regulator E331 (sodium/citric salts), and preservative E242 (dimethyl dicarbonate). These additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and place the product in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
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.
