Bonelli 950899 1 ltr Extra Virgin Olive Oil Bottle 33.8 oz Pack of 6
Summary
This product is categorized as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of carbonated spring water and natural flavor, which indicates a higher level of processing. While the base ingredient is spring water, the addition of natural flavors detracts from its purity and simplicity. The processing level and added ingredients prevent it from achieving a higher score typical of minimally processed bottled waters.

Carbonated Spring WaterNeutral
Carbonated spring water is primarily water that has been carbonated, which is generally neutral in terms of health impact. The carbonation process involves dissolving carbon dioxide gas under pressure, which does not significantly alter the nutritional profile of the water. It is sourced from a spring, which may indicate a natural origin, but the carbonation process does not add any nutritional benefits.
Natural FlavorNeutral
Natural flavor is used to enhance the taste of products without adding calories or nutrients, making it a neutral ingredient. It is derived from natural sources, but the exact composition can vary widely, and it is often processed to isolate specific flavor compounds. While it does not provide nutritional benefits, it is generally considered safe for consumption.
