Rude Health UHT Organic Almond Drink - Unsweetened (1L)
Summary
This almond drink features clean, organic ingredients such as spring water, organic rice, and organic Italian almonds, which contribute positively to its nutritional profile. However, the inclusion of organic cold-pressed sunflower oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, is a concern due to its potential inflammatory effects. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the absence of artificial additives and preservatives.

Organic Italian AlmondsGood

Organic Cold-Pressed Sunflower OilVery Bad

High omega-6 content may promote inflammation when consumed in excess.
