Yes — The Allisons Soya & linseed is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains refined palm oil, which is a highly processed industrial oil. Other ingredients are mostly basic or minimally processed (wheat flour, seeds, soya, yeast, sugar, salt, vinegar, ascorbic acid). However, the presence of palm oil is sufficient to classify it as UPF under the given rules.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — The Allisons Soya & linseed by Alloson’s is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains refined palm oil, which is a highly processed industrial oil. Other ingredients are mostly basic or minimally processed (wheat flour, seeds, soya, yeast, sugar, salt, vinegar, ascorbic acid). However, the presence of palm oil is sufficient to classify it as UPF under the given rules.
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.
