Yes — Peach Ice Tea is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This drink is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients: fructose is an industrially extracted sugar; flavourings are extracted or synthesized flavour additives; and sweetener (steviol glycosides from stevia) is an isolated intense sweetener. These ingredients indicate an industrial formulation beyond simple culinary processing.
