Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Soft Drink scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavorings): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
  • Other Additives (Caffeine): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Soda, this product is more processed than about 30% of the 6,804 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
