What You Should Know

You might spot this organic strawberry Italian soda in the refrigerated beverages or specialty drinks aisle, or grab it for a sunny picnic, backyard party, or nostalgic soda-fountain-style treat. It feels indulgent and playful—like a grown-up, organic spin on a classic sweet soda—with a fizzy, syrupy mouthfeel. The ingredient list (added organic cane sugar, carbonation, natural flavor, acidity regulator and color concentrates) and the concentrated/processed components point toward an ultra-processed-style product despite organic claims.

Common Questions about Organic Strawberry Flavored Italian Soda, 25.4 FZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective! This soda is organic and made with real strawberry puree, which is a nice plus. However, it does pack a sugar punch with 35 grams of total sugars per serving. So, if you're looking for a refreshing treat, it's great in moderation, but not exactly a health tonic!
