Yes — Orange Squash is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Orange Squash is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations: sodium citrate as an acidity regulator; natural orange flavouring with other natural flavourings; the artificial sweeteners acesulfame K and sucralose; cellulose gum and sucrose acetate isobutyrate as stabilisers; potassium sorbate and sodium metabisulphite as preservatives; glycerol esters of wood rosins as an emulsifier; and carotenes as added colour. These additives indicate an industrially formulated beverage rather than a minimally processed orange drink.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Orange Squash by Robinsons is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Orange Squash is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations: sodium citrate as an acidity regulator; natural orange flavouring with other natural flavourings; the artificial sweeteners acesulfame K and sucralose; cellulose gum and sucrose acetate isobutyrate as stabilisers; potassium sorbate and sodium metabisulphite as preservatives; glycerol esters of wood rosins as an emulsifier; and carotenes as added colour. These additives indicate an industrially formulated beverage rather than a minimally processed orange drink.
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.
