Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Smooth & Sweet Citrus Punch scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup And 2% Or Less Of Each Of The Following: Concentrated Juices (Orange, Tangerine, Apple, Lime, Grapefruit, Pear)): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose, Neotame): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate To Protect Flavor): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5, Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
Within Juices, this product is more processed than about 93% of the 9,905 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
