What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated wellness/functional beverage section or specialty soda aisle — a grab for a picnic, movie night, or when you want a ‘healthier’ twist on cola. It feels nostalgic (cola) but wellness-forward because of added prebiotic fibers and fruit concentrates; however, the presence of isolated fibers, natural flavors, sweeteners and carbonation points to industrial formulation and the smooth, shelf-stable texture typical of ultra-processed sodas.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although it contains fruit concentrates and plant fibers, the product is a carbonated, industrially formulated beverage with isolated prebiotic fibers (inulin, cassava fiber), added flavors, sweeteners and extracts — all markers of NOVA group 4 ultraprocessed foods. The manufacturing and formulation for shelf stability and consistent mouthfeel further support the ultra-processed classification.
