Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Tea Drink Mix Sticks scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup Solids): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame†): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Natural Flavors (Black And Green Tea, Black Tea Extract, Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
Within Drink Mixes, this product is more processed than about 51% 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.
