Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sparkling Pink Lemonade scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Benzoate And Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Modified Starches (Modified Corn Starch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Emulsifiers (Glycerol Ester Of Wood Rosin): Industrial emulsifiers indicate UPF.
Within Soda, this product is more processed than about 64% 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.
