Summary

This cold brew coffee is primarily composed of coffee and water, which are simple and natural ingredients. However, the inclusion of 'natural flavor' raises concerns due to its vague nature and potential for undisclosed additives. Despite being ultra-processed, the product maintains a relatively clean label with minimal ingredients, which helps mitigate some of the processing-related penalties.
