Yes — Kefir drink mango is ultra-processed.
The product is considered ultra-processed because it contains at least one UPF ingredient according to NOVA, specifically natural flavouring. It also contains pectin as a stabiliser, which is an extracted additive. The presence of these industrial additives makes the overall product UPF, even though the base ingredients (milk, mango puree, fruit extracts) are minimally processed foods.

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
