Yes — protein power soup red pepper, tomato & lentil is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, due to an industrial flavoring additive.
This soup is classified as ultra-processed because it contains paprika extract, a pre-identified UPF ingredient and an extracted flavoring additive. The product otherwise consists mainly of vegetables, legumes, herbs, spices, rapeseed oil, sugar, salt, vinegar, and citric acid, which do not by themselves make it UPF under the stated criteria. Paprika extract is sufficient to classify the product as UPF.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-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.
