Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sparkling Beverage scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate (Preserves Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Blue 1): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Sodium Hexametaphosphate): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
