Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cocktail Mix, Sweet & Sour 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 And Sodium Metabisulfite): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Alcoholic Beverages, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 1,081 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
