Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Tropical Blend scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Processed Fruit Products (Juice Concentrate (Passion Fruit, Orange, Apple)): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavors): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Pectin, Locust Bean Gum. Preserved With Less Than 0.10% Sodium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Other Beverages, this product is more processed than about 52% 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.
