Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Recovery Drink, Orange 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.
- Other Additives (Taurine, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Caffeine): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Arabic, Ester Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
