Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Diet Ruby Red Thirst Quencher 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.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
  • Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Natural Flavors (Carbonated Water And Contains 2% Or Less Of: Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Soda, this product is more processed than about 64% of the 6,804 products we've analyzed.
