Yes — Curiosity Cola is ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed: best enjoyed occasionally, not as an everyday drink.
Curiosity Cola is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, an industrially extracted refined sugar; E150d (caramel colouring), an industrial additive; E338 (phosphoric acid), an industrial additive; and stevia, an artificial or intensely processed sweetener. These ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing. Fermented ginger root, pear juice concentrate, yeast, caffeine, and carbonated water do not independently change the classification.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Curiosity Cola by Fentimans is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Curiosity Cola is ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, an industrially extracted refined sugar; E150d (caramel colouring), an industrial additive; E338 (phosphoric acid), an industrial additive; and stevia, an artificial or intensely processed sweetener. These ingredients meet the criteria for ultra-processing. Fermented ginger root, pear juice concentrate, yeast, caffeine, and carbonated water do not independently change 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.
