Summary

While it uses natural flavors and fruit and vegetable juice for color, the presence of sugar and the processed nature of the product limit its healthiness. The brand's commitment to avoiding artificial additives is positive, but the lack of transparency in sourcing and the processed nature of the product contribute to a moderate score.
