Yes — Sparkling Rose Lemonade is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Rose Lemonade is ultra-processed because it contains flavouring, preservative sodium benzoate, sweetener sucralose, and colour. These industrial additives and formulated sweetening and flavouring components meet the specified UPF criteria. Sugar, concentrated lemon juice, citric acid, water, and rose extract do not independently determine the classification.

Yes — Sparkling Rose Lemonade by Rubicon is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Rose Lemonade is ultra-processed because it contains flavouring, preservative sodium benzoate, sweetener sucralose, and colour. These industrial additives and formulated sweetening and flavouring components meet the specified UPF criteria. Sugar, concentrated lemon juice, citric acid, water, and rose extract do not independently determine 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.
