Yes — Kefir Strawberry is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains: natural flavouring (an industrial flavouring additive) and stabiliser pectin (an extracted gelling/thickening agent). Under NOVA, the presence of such industrial additives places the product in the ultra-processed category, even though the base ingredients (milk, fruit purée, cultures) are minimally processed.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Kefir Strawberry by biotiful is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains: natural flavouring (an industrial flavouring additive) and stabiliser pectin (an extracted gelling/thickening agent). Under NOVA, the presence of such industrial additives places the product in the ultra-processed category, even though the base ingredients (milk, fruit purée, cultures) are minimally processed.
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.
