Yes — Vegetable Stock Drink is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed because it contains glucose syrup, maltodextrin, flavouring, and natural flavouring, which are industrial additives and processed sugars according to NOVA guidelines.
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.
Scan any barcode — or photograph the ingredients label — with the free Nomi app for iOS and Android. You'll get an instant ultra-processed verdict with every ingredient explained in plain English.
