Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Liquid Iced Tea Mix scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose (Non-Nutritive Sweetener)): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Black Tea Powder, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Drink Mixes, this product is more processed than about 30% 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.
