What You Should Know

You might grab this chilled bottle from the natural beverages section or refrigerated sparkling drinks case as a fruity, caffeinated alternative to soda. The organic yerba mate and fruit-forward marketing give a wholesome, slightly sophisticated vibe, but the added cane sugar, juice concentrates, natural flavors and extracts — plus carbonation — reflect industrial processing typical of ultra-processed drinks.
