Yes — Spring Water is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This product is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings, natural orange flavouring with esters of wood rosin, other natural flavourings, preservative (potassium sorbate), emulsifier (gum arabic), sweetener (sucralose), and colour (beta carotene). These industrial additives and flavouring substances indicate an ultra-processed formulation. The fruit juices from concentrate and carbonated water are not the main reasons for the classification.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Spring Water by Rubicon is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This product is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings, natural orange flavouring with esters of wood rosin, other natural flavourings, preservative (potassium sorbate), emulsifier (gum arabic), sweetener (sucralose), and colour (beta carotene). These industrial additives and flavouring substances indicate an ultra-processed formulation. The fruit juices from concentrate and carbonated water are not the main reasons for the classification.
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.
