Yes — Kefir Drink is ultra-processed.
The kefir drink contains ultra-processed additives. Natural flavouring is an industrially produced flavour additive. The stabiliser pectin is an added texturizing agent. These extracted and formulated ingredients move the product into the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category, even though the base is fermented milk with fruit.

Yes — Kefir Drink by Biotiful Dairy Ltd is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The kefir drink contains ultra-processed additives. Natural flavouring is an industrially produced flavour additive. The stabiliser pectin is an added texturizing agent. These extracted and formulated ingredients move the product into the ultra-processed (NOVA 4) category, even though the base is fermented milk with fruit.
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.
