What You Should Know

You'd spot this tiny Raspberry Jel packet in the sugar-free or dessert aisle, often bought for kids' lunchboxes, low-calorie desserts, or as a quick nostalgic treat at home. It gives a nostalgic, diet-friendly vibe — a modern, reduced-calorie spin on classic gelatin. The ingredient list (erythritol, stevia, carrageenan, natural flavors and colorants) points to an industrially formulated gel: a restructured, additive-driven texture typical of highly processed NOVA products.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This product is an industrial formulation containing non-caloric sweeteners (erythritol, stevia), a hydrocolloid gelling agent (carrageenan), flavorings and colorants—characteristics of ultraprocessed foods, so it fits NOVA group 4.
