What You Should Know

You'd find this in the specialty beverage or craft soda aisle (or in a fridge at a picnic or casual get-together) when you want a nostalgic root beer flavor with a modern wellness spin. It feels comforting and nostalgic yet health-forward — reduced sugar and added prebiotic fibers — and the long list of concentrates, syrups, fiber isolates and natural flavors points to industrial formulation (fizzy texture, added body and shelf-stability) typical of ultra-processed products.
