What You Should Know

You'd spot Maine Root Ginger Brew in the specialty soda or refrigerated craft-beverage aisle and reach for it at backyard BBQs, weekend brunches, or as a fizzy afternoon treat. It gives an artisanal, nostalgic ginger-ale vibe — spicy and indulgent — but the high added sugar, carbonation and likely industrial flavor/concentrate use (plus shelf-stable packaging and simple ingredient list) point to ultra-processed characteristics: a fizzy, sweet mouthfeel rather than a whole-food beverage.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

A sweet carbonated soda with added (organic) cane sugar and flavoring falls into NOVA 4: industrially formulated, high in free sugars and processed (carbonation, concentrates/flavorings, packaging) with little to no whole-food matrix remaining.
