Why is Peach Ice Tea classified as ultra-processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is considered ultra-processed because the drink is formulated from water, sugars, concentrated peach juice, tea extract and several functional ingredients that are industrially produced, and it includes five listed additives – malic acid (E296), ascorbic acid (E300), citric acid (E330), sodium citrate (E331) and stevia glycosides (E960a) – together with flavorings and a preservative system, which places it in NOVA 4.

How does the sugar and salt content in Peach Ice Tea affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With about 3 g of sugar per 100 g (approximately 12 g per 250 ml serving) the drink adds a moderate amount of rapidly absorbable carbohydrate, which can raise blood glucose and should be limited by people with diabetes, while its very low salt (0.03 g/100 g) poses little risk for hypertension.

Is Peach Ice Tea suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten-free diets?

The ingredient list contains only plant-based components (water, sugars, fruit juice, tea extract, stevia, acids, and vitamin C) and no gluten-containing cereals, so it is vegan, halal-compatible and gluten-free, but the presence of sugar and fructose makes it unsuitable for a strict keto diet.

Product Insights

Peach Ice Tea is a peach-flavored iced tea beverage that falls under the 'Beverages' and 'Artificially sweetened beverages' groups. It carries a Nutri-Score of D and is classified as NOVA 4 (ultra-processed), reflecting its mix of water, sugar, fructose, tea extract, peach juice concentrate, acidifiers, sodium citrate, flavorings, vitamin C and stevia-derived sweetener, as well as several additives (E296, E300, E330, E331, E960a). While it is low in fat, saturated fat and salt and benefits from a recyclable PET bottle and Rainforest Alliance certification, it still delivers moderate sugar levels (approximately 3 g per 100 g) and contains multiple additives, which keep its overall nutritional rating modest.
