Yes — Organic Kombucha, Ginger Lemon by Lo Bros is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This kombucha contains several ultra-processed additives according to NOVA. Specifically: erythritol (listed as 'naturally fermented glucose (erythritol)') is an industrially produced sugar alcohol sweetener; 'flavour enhancer' and 'natural flavours (ginger)' are industrial flavoring agents; and 'natural sweetener (steviol glycosides)' is a purified, isolated intense sweetener extracted from stevia leaves. The presence of any of these ingredients classifies the product as 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.
