What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated kombucha or specialty soda aisle — a zero‑calorie root beer riff aimed at people chasing nostalgic soda flavor with a health‑forward twist. The fizzy texture, stabilizers and colorants (caramel color, guar gum, acidulants) together with a sweetener blend and added probiotic point to an industrially reformulated beverage typical of ultra‑processed products.
