What You Should Know

You'd find this bright, bottled Italian soda in the grocery beverage aisle or chilled in a grab-and-go cooler, grabbed for summer picnics, weekend brunches, or as a sweet treat. It gives a playful, slightly nostalgic soda-fountain vibe while also being marketed as a healthier, organic indulgence. The fizzy texture, added organic cane sugar, juices-from-concentrate, citric acid and 'natural flavors' signal industrial formulation and processing consistent with ultra-processed products.

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.
