Storia 100% Natural Tender Coconut Water — BULLSHIT

Munch or Dump rates Storia 100% Natural Tender Coconut Water by storia BULLSHIT — score 0/90.

Sold as 100% natural coconut water with no preservatives, but it's reconstituted from concentrate and the ingredient list literally contains a synthetic preservative (INS 202).

Why this verdict

• Marketed 'no preservatives' but contains potassium sorbate (INS 202)
• Marketed '100% natural / tender coconut' but it's concentrate reconstituted with water
• Only 9.6% coconut concentrate; water is the #1 ingredient
• Claims outrun what's actually in the pack

Ingredients (3)

• Water (safe) — Bulking agent that keeps this a low-fat spread; inert.
• Coconut Water Concentrate (9.6%, reconstituted) (safe) — Coconut water boiled down to concentrate then rehydrated. Carries potassium and some natural sugars, but concentrating-and-reconstituting is a processing step fresh coconut water never sees.
• Potassium Sorbate (INS 202) (moderate) — A synthetic Class II preservative. Generally considered safe in food, but its presence flatly contradicts the 'no preservatives' claim on the pack.
