Why this verdict
- Sugar is the #1 ingredient after water, pure empty liquid calories
- Synthetic 'nature-identical' flavouring, not real lemon or juice
- Sodium benzoate preservative (211) added
- NOVA-4 ultra-processed with zero nutritional value
- Acidic (citric acid) which is also rough on tooth enamel
Ingredients (6)
- Carbonated Water (safe) — Just water and CO2 — the neutral base.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
- Acidity Regulator (330 - Citric Acid) (safe) — Common, safe acid used for tartness and shelf stability.
- Acidity Regulator (331 - Sodium Citrate) (safe) — Buffers the acidity to control tartness; generally benign.
- Preservative (211 - Sodium Benzoate) (moderate) — Extends shelf life; can form small amounts of benzene when combined with acids, and offers no benefit to you.
- Nature Identical Flavouring Substances (moderate) — Lab-synthesized 'mango' flavor doing the heavy lifting instead of actual fruit.
