Cyclone Cocktail Mix

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cyclone Cocktail Mix 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.
• Modified Starches (Sodium Benzoate (As A Preservative). Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
• Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 And Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Emulsifiers (Glycerol Ester Of Wood Rosin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
