Yes — Blackurrant by Ribena is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Contains industrial sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfame K), natural flavourings, and preservatives (potassium sorbate, sodium bisulphite), which classify it as an ultra-processed beverage under NOVA.
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.
Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
