Yes — Oat Drink Vanilla is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed because it contains rapeseed oil (refined culinary oil is acceptable but combined with other additives), isolated maize fibre, and especially added natural vanilla flavour, which is an extracted flavouring additive used to modify taste. Presence of any industrial flavouring places it in the UPF category under NOVA.

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.
