Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Purple Corn Drink Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Colors (Red N40, Blue N1 Fcf): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Xanthan Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Alcoholic Beverages, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 1,081 products we've analyzed.
