Snapple

Our evaluation awards the Snapple Zero Sugar Peach Tea a rating of 1/5 green leaves. This product is not organic and contains genetically modified ingredients. Our assessment identifies multiple concerns regarding its components, which include citric acid, aspartame, and what is listed as ‘natural flavors’.

The drink is not crafted from organic sources, resulting in a deduction for its overall healthfulness. Additionally, the lack of non-GMO certification raises questions about the quality and safety of the ingredients used. The presence of citric acid, while commonly found in many beverages, is considered an added sugar and contributes to a lower rating. More significant is the inclusion of aspartame, an artificial sweetener linked to various health concerns, which leads to a further decrease in the score.

‘Natural flavors’ is a term that often encompasses a range of substances, some of which may be undesirable. Without transparency regarding these flavors, their impact on health remains uncertain, yet they are treated with caution in our scoring system. Aspartame appears again under known harmful additives, reinforcing the negative impact this ingredient has on the product’s overall score.

The Snapple Zero Sugar Peach Tea is positioned at the bottom of our rating scale. With its non-organic status, GMO content, and questionable additives like aspartame and unspecified natural flavors, it falls short of the cleaner food options we aim to highlight. Our analysis strongly advises against this product, suggesting consumers seek healthier alternatives that align more closely with a clean-eating lifestyle. We prioritize products that are transparent, organic, and free from ingredients that carry potential health risks. This beverage does not meet those standards.
