No — Ginger by Karma is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). The product contains kombucha (water, cane sugar, green tea, culture) and ginger juice. These are traditional fermented and whole-food ingredients without industrial additives (no artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, flavor enhancers, refined syrups, or industrial extracts). Therefore it is not classified as an ultra-processed food under NOVA.
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.
