Yes — Semi Oat Drink is ultra-processed.
The drink contains the additive acidity regulator (dipotassium phosphate), which is an industrially produced additive and therefore makes the product ultra-processed according to NOVA. The presence of added vitamins and minerals alone would not make it UPF, but the acidity regulator does.

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.
