Italian Mineral Water
Summary
This mineral water is carbonated, which is a form of processing that contributes to its classification as ultra-processed. While carbonation itself is generally safe, it does not add nutritional value and can lead to dental erosion over time. The product's clean ingredient list and absence of harmful additives are positive aspects, but the processing level limits its score.
