Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Apple Soda, Apple scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Soda, this product is more processed than about 64% of the 6,804 products we've analyzed.
