Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Diet Green Tea 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 (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Tea Flavor, Natural Flavor, Tea Powder): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Tea & Coffee, this product is more processed than about 94% of the 6,751 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
