Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Pepsi Next 20 Oz Pl Bot 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 (Preserves Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Other Additives (Caffeine): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.

Within Other Beverages, this product is more processed than about 77% of the 3,934 products we've analyzed.

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