Grape Punch From Concentrate

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Grape Punch From Concentrate scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup And 2% Or Less Of Each Of The Following: Concentrated Juices (Pineapple, Apple, Concord Grape, Orange, Passionfruit)): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin, Gum Acacia, Ester Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
• Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

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.
