Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate (Preservatives)And Blue 1): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Gum Acacia): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
