What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated craft-beverage or sparkling-water cooler, parked between kombuchas and flavored seltzers — a bright, summery pick for patios, brunches, or a hot afternoon. It presents as a 'better-for-you' soda with nostalgic watermelon-lime notes and an herbal rosemary twist, plus a probiotic callout. The ingredient list (juice from concentrate, natural flavors, citric acid, carbonation) points to industrial formulation and additives rather than whole-fruit processing, a hallmark of highly processed beverages.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Uses juice from concentrate, added 'natural flavors', citric acid and carbonation — industrial ingredients and additives associated with formulation and preservation that align with NOVA group 4 ultra-processed foods; the probiotic ingredient doesn't reduce the level of processing.
