No — Elderflower Cordial is not ultra-processed.
Ingredients are water extract of organic elderflower blossoms, organic cane sugar, and citric acid. These are basic culinary ingredients and a simple acidulant, with no industrial sweeteners, refined syrups, flavourings, emulsifiers, or other cosmetic additives, so this would not be classified as ultra-processed under NOVA.

No — Elderflower Cordial by harmonica is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Ingredients are water extract of organic elderflower blossoms, organic cane sugar, and citric acid. These are basic culinary ingredients and a simple acidulant, with no industrial sweeteners, refined syrups, flavourings, emulsifiers, or other cosmetic additives, so this would not be classified as ultra-processed 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.
