What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated craft soda or natural beverages section and grab it as a bright, fizzy alternative for weekend brunches, picnics, or as a cocktail mixer. It feels artisanal and slightly nostalgic—lemon-lime with an herbal cardamom twist and a probiotic ‘healthy’ vibe despite being a sweet soda. The combination of carbonated water, juice from concentrate, citric acid and 'natural flavors' signals industrial formulation and additives that produce the fizzy texture and shelf stability typical of ultra-processed drinks.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

This is a manufactured carbonated beverage containing juice from concentrate, added acidifiers and natural flavors—industrial ingredients and processing steps that classify it as ultra-processed (NOVA 4); the presence of live probiotics doesn't change that overall classification.
