Tamry dates milk
Summary
This product is ultra-processed due to the use of additives such as emulsifiers and stabilizers, which contribute to its high processing level. While it contains beneficial ingredients like fresh cow's milk and dates, which provide natural nutrients and sweetness, the presence of processed flavoring and acidity regulators detracts from its overall healthiness. The ultra-heat treatment further indicates a significant level of processing, limiting its score despite some nutritional benefits.
