Spiced Chai Latte

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Spiced Chai Latte scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Natural Flavors (Tea Powder Blend (Black Tea, Darjeeling Tea), Bourbon Vanilla Extract From Madagascar): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan Gum, Guar Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Tea & Coffee, this product is more processed than about 94% of the 6,751 products we've analyzed.

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