Yes — Orange and Pineapple Squash is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This is ultra-processed because it contains industrial additives and flavoring: acesulfame K and sucralose are artificial sweeteners; flavorings are added flavor compounds; sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is a processed stabilizer/thickener; and potassium sorbate and sodium metabisulphite are preservatives. The concentrated fruit components and multiple formulation additives make this a ready-to-dilute industrial beverage rather than a minimally processed fruit drink.
