What You Should Know

Polar Seltzer Pink Lady Apple Lemon reads like a modern pantry staple: a zero-calorie sparkling water flavored with bright orchard notes. On the shelf you’ll find it in the refrigerated or ambient beverage aisle alongside other seltzers, sparkling waters and cocktail mixers, often near tonic waters, flavored sparkling brands and craft mixers that shoppers pick up for both everyday hydration and entertaining. The product fits casual grocery trips for light refreshment, bar-cart shopping for mixer options, and outdoor plans like picnics or beach days where a fizzy, nonalcoholic option is welcome. Polar’s brand positioning leans on regional heritage and a playful, slightly nostalgic aesthetic — it markets toward adults who want a sophisticated, low-calorie alternative to soda and who appreciate a variety of interesting flavor combinations; it’s often framed for millennials seeking beverage variety without sugar. The label typically highlights “Natural Flavors” and “0 calories,” creating a clean, health-halo effect, but it does not carry organic certification or child-focused cartoon branding. In plain processing context, the drink is produced by carbonating water and adding industrially prepared natural flavoring compounds. Sensory details: the mouthfeel is light and highly effervescent with a crisp, clean finish; the apple-lemon angle gives an initial sweet-tart aroma and a zesty finish. Packaging is commonly a single 33.8 fl oz bottle or multipack cans for convenience; ritual uses include sipping chilled at meals, mixing with spirits for cocktails, or topping fruit-forward mocktails. It occupies a sweet spot in American grocery culture as a refreshingly modern, low-calorie choice that doubles as a mixer and everyday thirst-quencher.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although the ingredient list is short (carbonated water and natural flavors), the use of industrially formulated flavoring agents places it among ultra-processed beverages according to NOVA principles, as these products are manufactured to mimic natural flavors and are not whole foods.
