Summary

This cold brew coffee is ultra-processed due to the inclusion of 'natural flavor,' which is a vague term that can mask a variety of processed substances. While the product has minimal calories and carbohydrates, the lack of transparency in the ingredient list and the processing level prevent it from achieving a higher score. The absence of harmful additives like seed oils or artificial sweeteners is a positive aspect, but the processing level still limits its rating.
