Hurricane Frozen Beverage Mix

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

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

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate As A Preservative): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Other Additives (Propylene Glycol): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
• Stabilizers & Gums (Cellulose Gum, Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.

Within Alcoholic Beverages, this product is more processed than about 68% of the 1,081 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
