What You Should Know

You’d grab this chilled lime sparkling mineral water from the refrigerated drinks aisle or the cafe cooler—an easy pick for a picnic, office fridge, or as a zero-calorie soda substitute. It reads light and refreshing with a slightly indulgent, healthy-feeling vibe thanks to the bubbles and citrus notes. The short ingredient list hides that ‘organic natural flavors’ are concentrated flavoring agents and the bottled, carbonated format points to industrial processing typical of higher NOVA categories.
