Yes — Kefir Mixed Berry is ultra-processed.
This kefir is classified as ultra-processed because its ingredient list includes industrial additives and processed ingredients beyond basic foods. Specifically, it contains a stabiliser (pectin) and natural flavourings, which are extracted/isolated additives, and therefore qualify it as UPF according to the NOVA criteria given.

Yes — Kefir Mixed Berry by Beautiful Everyday is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This kefir is classified as ultra-processed because its ingredient list includes industrial additives and processed ingredients beyond basic foods. Specifically, it contains a stabiliser (pectin) and natural flavourings, which are extracted/isolated additives, and therefore qualify it as UPF according to the NOVA criteria given.
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.
