Fruit and Yogurt Smoothie

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Fruit and Yogurt Smoothie scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Processed Dairy Ingredients (Whey Protein Concentrate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
• Other Additives (Stabilizer (Modified Food Starch, Carrageenan, Pectin), Sodium Ascorbate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Yogurt, this product is more processed than about 81% of the 7,195 products we've analyzed.
