Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Diet Soda Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate (As Preservative)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.

Within Drink Mixes, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 4,985 products we've analyzed.
