Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

- 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 Sports & Energy Drinks, this product is more processed than about 62% of the 922 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
