Yes — Refreshlingy light - Ginger Ale is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list contains industrially processed additives/ingredients that classify it as ultra-processed according to NOVA: fructose fruit sugar (an isolated refined sugar), natural ginger flavouring and natural flavourings (industrial flavouring agents), caramel (likely an industrial colourant when listed as an ingredient rather than a whole food). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate ultra-processing.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Refreshlingy light - Ginger Ale by Fever-Tree is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list contains industrially processed additives/ingredients that classify it as ultra-processed according to NOVA: fructose fruit sugar (an isolated refined sugar), natural ginger flavouring and natural flavourings (industrial flavouring agents), caramel (likely an industrial colourant when listed as an ingredient rather than a whole food). These go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate ultra-processing.
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.
