Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Iced Tea scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame**): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40 Lake, Red 40, Yellow 6 Lake, +3 more): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Instant Tea, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Drink Mixes, this product is more processed than about 51% of the 4,985 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
