What You Should Know

You'd spot this organic strawberry Italian soda in the specialty beverage aisle or chilled near mixers at Whole Foods — the kind of bottle you grab for a sunny brunch, backyard party, or to recreate a soda-fountain treat at home. It reads organic and playful, evoking nostalgic soda-fountain vibes while feeling like an indulgent, sweet refreshment. The fizzy texture, added acidity regulator and 'natural flavor', concentrated juices and high cane sugar hint at industrial formulation and ready-to-drink processing typical of ultra-processed beverages.

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!
