Yes — Raspberry kefir is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes at least one additive/industrial ingredient: unspecified natural colour (an added colouring agent). Other ingredients (pasteurised milk, kefir cultures, raspberry purée, sugar, water, cornflour, lemon juice, lactase enzyme) are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of an added colouring agent makes the overall product UPF under NOVA-style criteria.
Other dairy, eggs & yoghurt Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Raspberry kefir is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because the ingredient list includes at least one additive/industrial ingredient: unspecified natural colour (an added colouring agent). Other ingredients (pasteurised milk, kefir cultures, raspberry purée, sugar, water, cornflour, lemon juice, lactase enzyme) are minimally processed or basic culinary ingredients, but the presence of an added colouring agent makes the overall product UPF under NOVA-style criteria.
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.
