Cappuccino

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Cappuccino 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): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
• Natural Flavors (Arabica Coffee): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Processed Fruit Products (Cocoa (Processed With Alkali)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant 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.
