Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Drink Mix scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
  • Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
  • Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
  • Natural Flavors (* Green Tea Extract, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
  • Other Additives (Caffeine): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

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.
