Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Root Beer scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Of: Natural And Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic, Propylene Glycol Alginate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
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.
