S.Pellegrino Sparkling Natural Mineral Water — MUNCH

Munch or Dump rates S.Pellegrino Sparkling Natural Mineral Water by S.Pellegrino MUNCH — score 90/90.

This is water from a spring in the Italian Alps with its own carbonation added back. Two ingredients, zero sugar, zero anything — the minerals on the label are what the rock put there. About as clean as a packaged beverage can physically be.

Why this verdict

• Two-ingredient list: natural mineral water and CO2 — nothing else to scrutinize
• NOVA 1 (minimally processed) — carbonation is the only processing step
• Naturally occurring calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate instead of added anything
• Zero sugar, zero sweeteners, zero additives of any kind
• Marketing claims match the label exactly — no health-washing to call out

Ingredients (5)

• Natural mineral water (safe) — Spring-sourced water with a legally protected mineral composition — the entire product.
• carbon dioxide (safe) — The fizz. Captured from the source and re-added; inert and harmless.
• Calcium (naturally occurring) (safe) — Dissolved from the aquifer — a small genuine contribution toward daily calcium.
• Magnesium (naturally occurring) (safe) — Trace mineral from the spring rock, not a supplement addition.
• Bicarbonates (naturally occurring) (safe) — Give the water its slightly alkaline, mineral taste; benign.
