Yes — Raspberry infused sparkling water is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrial flavouring additives: “natural flavours” and “natural flavourings”. These are extracted, refined flavouring substances and are explicitly treated as UPF ingredients in the NOVA-based rules. Other ingredients such as sparkling/carbonated spring water, raspberry extract, and citric acid are not UPF on their own, but the presence of the flavouring additives is sufficient to classify the overall product as UPF.
