Ingredient Score:
Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the ‘Fresca Blackberry Citrus’ is a product that falls short of the clean food standards set by our website. This beverage is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients, which are foundational criteria for a higher rating. The inclusion of citric acid is noted as an added sugar, contributing to the product’s lower score. Moreover, the presence of artificial sweeteners such as acesulfame potassium and aspartame further diminishes its standing, as these are considered more harmful types of added sugars.
The product also contains additives like natural flavors and potassium sorbate, which are flagged as potentially harmful. Aspartame, in particular, is identified as a known harmful additive, which heavily impacts the product’s overall rating. These ingredients raise concerns about the product’s healthfulness and alignment with cleaner food options.
The ‘Fresca Blackberry Citrus’ has earned the lowest possible score on our scale due to its composition, which includes multiple ingredients that are at odds with our criteria for cleaner, healthier food choices. The criteria used to evaluate the product are stringent and designed to steer consumers towards products that are more beneficial for their health.
Consumers seeking cleaner food options are advised to avoid this product based on its ingredient profile. The rating reflects a comprehensive assessment of the product’s ingredients, prioritizing organic, non-GMO, and additive-free options. The ‘Fresca Blackberry Citrus’ does not meet these standards, thus receiving the lowest possible recommendation from our website. Our guidance is geared towards helping consumers make informed decisions in a market saturated with products that often prioritize taste and shelf life over health benefits.
