Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Coffee & Protein Beverage scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Natural Flavors (Brewed Starbucks Coffee (Water, Coffee)): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Milk Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Sugar Alcohols (Erythritol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Carrageenan): 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.
