Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Sugar Free Diet Soda scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame, Sucralose): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate (Preserves Freshness)): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Citrus Pectin, Gum Arabic): Industrial stabilizers common in 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.
