Mango Pomegranate Sorbate

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Mango Pomegranate Sorbate scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids, High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate & Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
• Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
• Natural Flavors (Natural Flavoring): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
• Processed Fruit Products (Beet Juice Concentrate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.

Within Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts, this product is more processed than about 38% of the 14,928 products we've analyzed.

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