Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Diet Birch Beer Soda scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Flavors (Salt Natural And Artificial Flavor): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Other Beverages, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 3,934 products we've analyzed.
