Ingredients (8)

• Carbonated Water (safe) — Basic component of most beverages, provides fizziness.
• Concentrated orange juice (10%) (moderate) — Real fruit but stripped to concentrate, so it's mostly fast sugar with the fiber removed.
• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• Concentrated lemon juice (2%) (safe) — A splash of acidity for tartness; negligible amount.
• Natural orange aromas with other natural aromas (moderate) — Lab-derived flavoring that makes it taste like more fruit than the 10% juice would.
• Potassium sorbate (preservative) (moderate) — Anti-mould preservative; generally recognised safe but its presence signals a long-shelf-life processed product.
• Guar gum (stabilizer) (moderate) — Second stabilizer stacked to fake mouthfeel; generally tolerated but signals a manufactured formula.
• Carotenoids (coloring) (safe) — Added orange coloring so it looks fruitier; plant-derived and low concern.
