Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Nectar, Guava 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.
- Artificial Flavors (Artificial Flavored): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose (2 Mg / 100 Ml)): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Juices, this product is more processed than about 93% of the 9,905 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
