Summary
This beverage is ultra-processed, which limits its potential score. The presence of 'natural flavors' is a concern due to their lack of transparency and potential inclusion of solvents or preservatives. However, the ingredient list is minimal, with only carbonated water and natural flavors, which slightly mitigates the impact of its processing level.
