Persimmon Kefir Drink

Barcode 5063334028220

Yes — Persimmon Kefir Drink is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because it contains industrially processed additives: natural flavoring (an extracted/flavoring additive) and roasted barley extract (a processed extract used as a flavor and color enhancer). These move the product into NOVA 4, even though the base (water, persimmon, kefir cultures, luo han guo) is minimally processed/fermented.
