Tango Orange

Barcode 50411887
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Tango Orange is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

Tango Orange is ultra-processed because it contains several industrial additives and formulation ingredients: acidity regulator (sodium citrate), natural orange flavouring, sweeteners (aspartame and saccharin), preservative (potassium sorbate), stabiliser (pectin), emulsifiers (gum arabic and glycerol esters of wood rosins), and natural colour (carotenes). These additives and the ready-to-drink soft-drink formulation meet the stated UPF criteria. Sugar, citric acid, malic acid, and ascorbic acid do not independently determine the classification.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
