Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Orange Tea, Orange scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (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 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Tea, Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia, Ester Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Tea & Coffee, this product is more processed than about 94% of the 6,751 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
