What You Should Know

Waterloo Strawberry Sparkling Water reads like a modern pantry staple: bright, effervescent flavored water sold in single cans or as a 12-pack case (144 fl oz total) that you’ll find in the beverage aisle alongside seltzers, tonic water, and other flavored sparkling waters. Shoppers often pick it up in the chilled grab-and-go cooler or on shelf displays near mixers and health-forward drinks. It fits low-key occasions — a weekend brunch mimosa substitute, a post-workout refresher on the way home, or a road-trip cooler staple — and works as a zero-calorie alternative at picnics and game-day spreads. The brand positions itself as bold and youthful, appealing to health-conscious millennials and parents seeking soda alternatives: marketing leans into natural flavor claims, vegan and gluten-free certifications, Non-GMO verification, and Whole30 approval to signal a “clean” lifestyle choice. Labels emphasize health halos — 0 calories, 0 sugar, 0 sodium — and natural flavors, while the packaging often uses bright strawberry artwork and recyclable cans with BPA-free liners to imply safety and sustainability. In plain terms this is a commercially processed flavored sparkling water: carbonated purified water with added natural flavor extracts produced at scale. Sensory notes are simple and immediate — brisk carbonation, a light, aromatic strawberry note rather than jammy sweetness, and a very clean finish with no sticky aftertaste. Rituals around it are casual: opened cold from a cooler, sipped from the can or poured over ice, used as a mixer for cocktails or mocktails, or tucked into a gym bag for a hydrating, fizzy pick-me-up.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Although ingredients are few, the use of industrially produced "natural flavors" and packaging as a shelf-stable flavored beverage places it in the ultra-processed category under NOVA due to formulation and manufacturing processes.
