What You Should Know

Simply Limeade (52 fl oz) reads like a supermarket story about simplicity: a clear plastic bottle of pale-green lime beverage that sits among the refrigerated juice and juice-drink cases next to other Simply varieties, refrigerated lemonades and not-from-concentrate orange juices. It’s the kind of bottle shoppers grab for sunny weekend plans, backyard barbecues, or a quick pitcher to chill for guests. The label leans into a wholesome, homemade motif—big type calling out “natural” ingredients, a “Fresh Taste Guarantee,” and non-GMO claims—positioning the product for health-conscious families who want an easy, familiar alternative to sodas. There’s no organic seal and the small-print “natural flavors” signals some industry processing, even though the front-of-bottle messaging emphasizes fruit and cane sugar. Sensory impressions are straightforward: bright, tart lime aroma with a clear, sweet-tart palate and a lightly viscous, syrupy mouthfeel from cane sugar; best served chilled over ice or mixed into cocktails, pitchers, or kids’ lunchboxes. Packaging rituals are simple—pop into the fridge, pour from the tall 52-ounce bottle, or transfer to a pitcher for entertaining. Processing-wise, the beverage is prepared from filtered water, lime juice, cane sugar and natural flavors and is pasteurized and bottled for consistent taste and shelf life. In American grocery culture it occupies a middle ground: marketed as an all-natural, approachable refreshment with nostalgic, family-friendly appeal while functioning as a convenient, ready-to-serve sweetened juice beverage for casual meals and social occasions.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although it lists simple-sounding ingredients (water, lime juice, cane sugar), the presence of added sugar, industrially produced 'natural flavors,' and pasteurized, packaged production place it in NOVA 4 (ultra-processed) as a sweetened, ready-to-drink beverage.
