Is Sparkling Water ultra-processed?

The ingredient list contains only minerals and water-related components (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, bicarbonate, chloride, sulphate, nitrate) and technical water descriptors (dry residue, pH).

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

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.

How can I check whether other foods are ultra-processed?
