Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Water Beverage scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate To Protect Flavor): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Water, this product is more processed than about 79% of the 7,149 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
