What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the frozen aisle among novelty pops — a patriotic, kid-friendly icy treat for pool days, summer BBQs, or lunchbox surprises. It has a playful, nostalgic vibe while being marketed as a 'better' choice because it's organic; however the added organic cane sugar, natural flavors, stabilizers and color extracts indicate industrial formulation and a uniform icy texture typical of ultra-processed products.
