Ingredients (7)

• Sugar (moderate) — Added for sweetness, can contribute to calorie content.
• 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.
• Caffeine (moderate) — Mild stimulant, 43mg per serving. Fine in moderation but makes the drink mildly habit-forming.
• Colour (129 - Allura Red AC) (concerning) — Artificial azo dye purely cosmetic; associated with hyperactivity warnings and restricted in some regions.
• Flavours (Nature-Identical Flavouring Substances) (moderate) — Lab-made flavour compounds standing in for real berries; no nutritional value.
