Yes — Old Mout Berries & Cherries Cider is ultra-processed.
This cider is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring, an industrially isolated flavour additive, and sodium metabisulphite, a synthesized preservative. These additives indicate an industrial formulation under the NOVA classification. Citric acid and carrot-based colouring are not, by themselves, sufficient to classify a product as ultra-processed.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Old Mout Berries & Cherries Cider by Old Mout is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This cider is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring, an industrially isolated flavour additive, and sodium metabisulphite, a synthesized preservative. These additives indicate an industrial formulation under the NOVA classification. Citric acid and carrot-based colouring are not, by themselves, sufficient to classify a product as ultra-processed.
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.
