Yes — Aloe Vera with Bits is ultra-processed.

The ingredient list is valid. The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains industrial additives and formulations: natural flavouring (industrial flavoring agent), gellan gum (gelling/thickening agent), and stevia extract (intense non-sugar sweetener). These additives go beyond basic culinary ingredients and indicate ultra-processing according to the NOVA classification. Other ingredients like water, aloe vera, sugar, citric acid, and vitamins do not change this classification.
