What You Should Know

You'd spot this bottle in the organic beverages or refrigerated drinks section and pull it for a picnic, brunch, or as a sweet, fizzy treat on a hot day. It reads as a nostalgic, indulgent Italian-soda style beverage that also courts a wholesome image through organic juice and ingredients. The use of added organic cane sugar, carbonation, citric acid and natural flavors alongside juices from concentrate reveals industrial formulation for sweetness, texture and stability—characteristic of ultraprocessed drinks.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:4 / 4

Ultra-Processed

Why this score?

Contains added free sugars, carbonation, an acidity regulator and natural flavors, and is formulated from juices-from-concentrate—ingredients and processes typical of NOVA group 4. These elements indicate industrial processing aimed at creating a sweet, fizzy, shelf-stable product rather than preserving whole foods.

Common Questions about Organic Mango Flavored Italian Soda, 25.4 FZ

Well, that depends on how you define 'healthy.' This soda is organic and free from artificial sweeteners and preservatives, which is a win in my book! However, it does have a higher sugar content, with 39 grams per serving, so if you're watching your sugar intake, it might be best to enjoy it as an occasional treat rather than a daily staple.
