Crystal Light Lemon Iced Tea drink mix

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 8 ingredients to avoid

Crystal Light Lemon Iced Tea drink mix scores 5/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Crystal Light Lemon Iced Tea drink mix lists 11 ingredients, starting with Citric Acid, Maltodextrin, Corn Syrup Solids, Instant Tea and Aspartame. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 5/100 Crystal Light Lemon Iced Tea drink mix scores worse than most water we have scored. A higher-scoring option in water is Great Value Purified Drinking Water at 100/100.
