What You Should Know

You'd find this in the refrigerated drinks or specialty beverage aisle at Whole Foods — a ready-to-drink, tropical 'Italian soda' marketed as a crafted organic treat. It gives a playful, indulgent, nostalgic vibe, but the fizzy, slightly syrupy texture and presence of stabilizers, natural flavors and juice concentrates point to industrial processing.

Common Questions about Organic Tropical Blend Italian Soda, 11.2 fl oz (Pack of 4)

Well, 'healthy' can mean different things to different people. This soda is organic, vegan, and free from artificial ingredients, which is great! However, it does pack a sugary punch with 33 grams of total sugars per can, so while it can be a fun treat, it's best enjoyed in moderation.
