What You Should Know

You’d spot this in the refrigerated grab-and-go cooler or specialty coffee shelf — a ready-to-drink organic iced coffee that feels like a café shortcut. It reads indulgent and slightly nostalgic (sweet, creamy, and easy), while the organic label gives a healthier first impression. Despite simple-sounding ingredients, the smooth texture and ready-to-drink format suggest industrial processing and formulations typical of ultra-processed beverages.
