Dragon Fruit Rescue Beverage

Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Dragon Fruit Rescue Beverage scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Sugar Alcohols (Erythritol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Sports & Energy Drinks, this product is more processed than about 26% of the 922 products we've analyzed.
