What You Should Know

You’d find this bottled sweet tea chilled in the deli cooler or aisle of a grocery store and probably reach for it on a hot afternoon or at a backyard cookout — it gives a classic, comforting Southern vibe. The ingredient list is short and recognizable (filtered water, cane sugar, fresh brewed tea), and the smooth, sweet liquid reflects industrial bottling for consistency; those features point to a processed ready-to-drink product rather than a heavily reformulated ultraprocessed item.
