Yes — Medium Apple Cider by Inch's is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Medium Apple Cider is classified as ultra-processed because it contains sodium metabisulphite, an industrial preservative additive. The apple juice is from concentrate, indicating industrial processing, while sugar and malic acid are not independently sufficient to make it 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.
