Organic Stevia In The Raw, 22.57 Ounce
Summary
This product is ultra-processed due to the inclusion of organic cane sugar and stevia leaf extract, which are refined ingredients. While it benefits from having a short ingredient list and being organic, the presence of an additive and the high processing level limit its healthiness. The use of stevia as a natural sweetener is a positive aspect, but the overall processing reduces its score.
