Yes — Lemon & Mint is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday.
This drink is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings, an extracted flavour additive, and stabiliser: pectins, an industrially added stabiliser. It also contains steviol glycosides, an isolated sweetening agent. These additives and the ready-to-drink beverage formulation lead to its UPF classification.

Yes — Lemon & Mint by Nestlé, San Pellegrino is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This drink is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavourings, an extracted flavour additive, and stabiliser: pectins, an industrially added stabiliser. It also contains steviol glycosides, an isolated sweetening agent. These additives and the ready-to-drink beverage formulation lead to its UPF classification.
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.
