What You Should Know

You’d spot this in Whole Foods’ beverage aisle or chilled cooler and it’s the kind of fizzy, colorful drink you’d grab for a picnic or to make a casual brunch feel special. It reads like a slightly nostalgic, indulgent treat marketed as 'organic' and brighter because of real juice, but the carbonation, added organic cane sugar, citric acid, natural flavors and juice from concentrate point to an industrially formulated soda. These ingredients and the finished texture (sweet, bubbly, flavored) are typical of ultra-processed beverages rather than a single-ingredient refreshment.

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.
