Yes — Onken Cherry is ultra-processed.
The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients, including modified tapioca starch, modified corn starch, thickeners (guar gum & pectin), and natural flavouring. Modified starches are industrially processed carbohydrate additives used as thickeners and stabilizers. Guar gum and pectin are gelling/thickening agents, and natural flavouring is an extracted, formulated additive—all characteristic of ultra-processed foods according to NOVA.
Other dairy, eggs & yoghurt Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — Onken Cherry by Onken is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). The ingredient list is valid. This product is classified as ultra-processed (UPF) because it contains several industrial additives and processed ingredients, including modified tapioca starch, modified corn starch, thickeners (guar gum & pectin), and natural flavouring. Modified starches are industrially processed carbohydrate additives used as thickeners and stabilizers. Guar gum and pectin are gelling/thickening agents, and natural flavouring is an extracted, formulated additive—all characteristic of ultra-processed foods according to 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.
