Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Yerba Mate Soda scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup And/Or Sugar): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Flavors (Other Natural And Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Preserved With Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Within Soda, this product is more processed than about 30% of the 6,804 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
