Why Does This Score Highly Processed?
In our analysis, Sweetened Black Tea scores Highly Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Flavors (French Vanilla Chai Tea (Black Tea, Natural Chai, Cinnamon & Ginger Flavours With Other Natural Flavours, Artificial Vanilla Flavour, Cardamom, Clove, Vanilla Pod Powder)): Synthetic flavors indicate industrial food production.
- Processed Dairy Ingredients (Sodium Caseinate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
Within Tea & Coffee, this product is more processed than about 79% of the 6,751 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
