Yes — Oasis Citrus Punch is ultra-processed.

Classified as ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations: artificial sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfame K), stabilisers (polyphosphates, glycerol esters of wood rosins), preservatives (potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate), modified starch, and natural flavourings. These ingredients go beyond basic culinary components and fit NOVA’s criteria for ultra-processed foods.
