Raspberry Herbal Tea

Barcode 5063270126127
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Raspberry Herbal Tea is ultra-processed.

This raspberry herbal tea is classified as ultra-processed because it contains natural flavoring, which is an industrially produced additive used to modify taste. Even though the base ingredients (raspberry, blackberry leaves, hibiscus, rosehip, apple pieces, peach pieces) are minimally processed plant ingredients, the presence of natural flavoring makes the overall product UPF under the NOVA system.
