Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Cold Brewed Coffee scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Cold Brewed Coffee (Filtered Water, Rainforest Alliance Certified Tm Coffee)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia, Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Tea & Coffee, this product is more processed than about 79% 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.
