Yes — Cherry & Sparkling Water is ultra-processed.
The product is classified as ultra-processed because it contains "natural flavourings," which are industrially produced flavour additives according to NOVA. Even though the base ingredients (sparkling water and fruit juices from concentrate) are relatively simple, the presence of natural flavourings is sufficient to classify the overall product as UPF.
