Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Lemon Iced Tea, Lemon scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Dried Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Natural Flavors (Instant Tea, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Emulsifiers (Soy Lecithin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Drink Mixes, this product is more processed than about 30% of the 4,985 products we've analyzed.
