Yes — Raspberry Syrup is ultra-processed.

The product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains industrial additives and formulations. Specifically, it includes: (1) flavouring, which is an industrially produced additive used to enhance or imitate natural flavours; and (2) concentrated raspberry juice with a high total extract, an industrially processed concentrate used for flavour and colour. These ingredients go beyond basic culinary components. Other ingredients like sugar, water, citric acid, vitamin C, and black carrot concentrate do not by themselves make it UPF, but the presence of flavouring is sufficient for UPF classification under NOVA.
