What You Should Know

You'd spot this Maine Root root beer in the refrigerated craft soda cooler or beverage aisle, grabbed for backyard barbecues, movie nights, or a nostalgic treat. It feels indulgent and a bit artisanal, but the fizzy mouthfeel and ready-to-drink sweetening signal industrial carbonation and packaging—characteristics associated with ultra-processed soft drinks.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although the ingredient list is short (carbonated water, organic cane sugar, spices), this is a packaged sweetened carbonated beverage produced and sold as a ready-to-drink product, which aligns with NOVA group 4 ultra-processed foods due to industrial processing, carbonation, and packaging for convenience.
