Yes — Original Taste is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
Coca-Cola is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings and the industrial colour additive E150d (caramel colour), which are characteristic industrial additives. Carbonated water, sugar, phosphoric acid, and caffeine alone would not necessarily make it ultra-processed, but the flavourings and colour additive lead to the classification.

Yes — Original Taste by Coca-Cola is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Coca-Cola is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings and the industrial colour additive E150d (caramel colour), which are characteristic industrial additives. Carbonated water, sugar, phosphoric acid, and caffeine alone would not necessarily make it ultra-processed, but the flavourings and colour additive lead to the classification.
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.
