Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Energy Shake scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Glucose): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural B Artificial Flavors (Milk)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate (Milk)): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Microcrystalline Cellulose, Cellulose Gum. Maltodextrin, Carrageenan): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Soda, this product is more processed than about 64% 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.
