Mushroom Coffee

Barcode 5065009432424
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Mushroom Coffee is ultra-processed.

This mushroom coffee drink is ultra-processed because it contains natural flavouring and a purified high-intensity sweetener (steviol glycosides), which are industrially extracted additives. It also uses multiple highly concentrated herbal and mushroom extracts (e.g., ashwagandha, lion's mane, chaga, cordyceps, maca) that are isolated in 10–12:1 extract forms rather than whole foods, further indicating industrial processing beyond traditional culinary use.
