Yes — Sport Raspberry is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday hydration.

This isotonic drink is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial formulations and additives associated with NOVA ultra-processing: glucose syrup, citric acid, sodium citrate, aspartame, acesulfame K, flavourings, glycerol esters of wood rosins, and preservatives including dimethyl dicarbonate. The stabiliser and sweetener systems, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, and industrially processed glucose syrup contribute to its classification as UPF. Ascorbic acid and niacin are not contributing factors.
