Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Clamato, Tomato Coctail 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.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Flavor Enhancers (Disodium Inosinate And Guanylate): Industrial flavor enhancement common in UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Acacia Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Other Beverages, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 3,934 products we've analyzed.
