Yes — Limonata is ultra-processed.
The product is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulations, including natural lemon flavouring, natural flavourings, the stabiliser pectins, and the high-intensity sweetener steviol glycosides. Natural lemon flavouring and natural flavourings are explicitly categorized as UPF ingredients; pectins and steviol glycosides are extracted/isolated additives used to modify texture and sweetness, which also makes the product ultra-processed under NOVA.
Other drinks Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

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.
