Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Refreshing Drink with Fruit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Sugar And/Or High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Natural Flavors (Tea): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
