Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Cool Blue Thirst Quencher scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerol Ester Of Rosin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Sports & Energy Drinks, this product is more processed than about 62% of the 922 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
