Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Energy Drinks scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate (Preserves Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
Artificial Colors (Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): 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.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
