Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Nectar, Light Guava scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose And Red 40): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Juices, this product is more processed than about 93% of the 9,905 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
