Why Does This Score Highly Processed?

In our analysis, Lemonade Drink Mix scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
Artificial Colors (Yellow 5 Lake): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.

Within Drink Mixes, this product is more processed than about 30% of the 4,985 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
