What You Should Know

You'd spot this chilled in the bottled-water and sparkling-beverages aisle or the grab-and-go fridge at Whole Foods, often snagged for picnics, office lunches, or weekend brunches. It reads crisp and premium—refreshing, light, and health-conscious without any sweetness. The short ingredient list hides industrial steps: carbonation and added 'organic natural flavors' give texture and taste but also signal added processing consistent with ultra-processed products.
