What You Should Know

You'll spot this four-pack on the chilled or specialty soda shelf at Whole Foods or tucked into a picnic cooler as a fancier non-alcoholic option. It feels nostalgic and slightly artisanal—bright, fizzy and indulgent—while the organic label hints at healthier credentials. However, the use of juice concentrates, added cane sugar, carbonation and 'natural flavors' indicates industrial formulation and textures typical of ultra-processed beverages.

Common Questions about 4 Pack Organic Italian Soda, Blood Orange, 11.2 Fluid Ounce (Pack of 4)

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective! This soda has organic ingredients and is free from artificial additives, which is a plus. However, it does pack a sugary punch with 37 grams of total sugars per can, so it's more of an occasional treat than a daily beverage if you're watching your sugar intake.
