What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the refrigerated craft soda section or packed into a cooler for backyard barbecues, picnics, or movie nights. It gives a fizzy, sweet cola hit with a slightly premium or nostalgic feel from the fair-trade organic cane sugar, yet still reads as an indulgent, ready-to-drink treat. Its ultra-processed nature is evident in the carbonated texture and concentrated flavoring and formulation typical of packaged sodas (NOVA 4).

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

A packaged sweetened cola—despite using organic cane sugar—relies on industrial formulation, carbonation, and added flavor components characteristic of ultra-processed foods. These factors and its ready-to-drink, packaged form support a NOVA 4 classification.

Common Questions about Mexican Cola 4 Pack, 12 FZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit of a moving target, right? This Mexican Cola is sweetened with Fair Trade organic cane sugar, which is a step up from high fructose corn syrup. However, it does contain added sugars, so while it can be enjoyed in moderation, it's not exactly a health food. Think of it as a fun treat rather than a daily staple!
