Yes — Raspberry Peelers is ultra-processed.

Product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains industrial additives and formulations, specifically: gelling agent (pectin) and natural flavouring. These ingredients fall under the NOVA definition of ultra-processed due to their functional/technological roles and level of processing. Other ingredients are mainly fruit-based concentrates and purees, which by themselves would not necessarily make the product UPF, but the presence of the identified additives is sufficient for UPF classification.
