Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Ponche 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.
- Modified Starches (Modified Food Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Flavors (Natural & Artificial Flavors): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 & Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
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.
