Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Tropical Orange scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Artificial Colors (Yellow 6, Red 40): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Gum Acacia, Ester Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
- Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.
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.
