MONKFRUIT SWEETENER WITH ERYTHRITOL
Summary
This sweetener is composed of erythritol and monk fruit extract, both of which are generally considered safe and have minimal impact on blood sugar levels. However, the product is classified as ultra-processed due to its manufacturing process, which limits its score despite the clean ingredient list. The presence of a single additive, erythritol, does not significantly detract from its overall quality, but the processing level imposes a cap on its rating.
