Yes — Long Life Almond Unsweetened is ultra-processed.
This almond drink is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives: an emulsifier (sunflower lecithins), stabilisers (gellan gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan gum), and potassium iodide. These ingredients are characteristic of ultra-processed foods in the NOVA system, as they are not typical household culinary ingredients and are used to modify texture, stability, and micronutrient content in an industrial formulation.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Long Life Almond Unsweetened by Asda is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This almond drink is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives: an emulsifier (sunflower lecithins), stabilisers (gellan gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan gum), and potassium iodide. These ingredients are characteristic of ultra-processed foods in the NOVA system, as they are not typical household culinary ingredients and are used to modify texture, stability, and micronutrient content in an industrial formulation.
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.
