At a glance
Summary
This product contains beneficial ingredients like organic maple syrup and mint leaves, which are natural and minimally processed. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of 'natural flavors' and the overall processing level. The use of natural flavors, which lack transparency, and the ultra-processed nature of the product limit its score despite the organic and beneficial components.
