Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Sparkling Beverages scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate (Preserves Freshness), Sodium Benzoate (Preserves Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerol Ester Of Wood Rosin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Soda, this product is more processed than about 30% 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.
