Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Diet Cola Soda scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
- Other Additives (Caffeine): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
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.
