Yes — Henderson's Relish is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains industrial additives and ingredients characteristic of NOVA Group 4 foods. Specifically: sugar syrup (an industrially processed refined sugar product), caramel colour e150c (a manufactured colouring agent), acetic acid listed as an added acidulant, and the artificial sweetener saccharin. Any one of these would be sufficient to classify the product as UPF, and in combination they clearly indicate an ultra-processed formulation.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.
