Summary

This sparkling water is minimally processed, consisting only of carbonated water and natural flavors, which aligns with a clean label and simple ingredient profile. However, the use of natural flavors introduces a slight level of processing, and the source of the water is not specified, which could impact the purity and quality assessment. The brand's limited transparency regarding sourcing also affects the overall evaluation, despite their avoidance of artificial additives.

Key ingredients 2

Carbonated water
Neutral

Carbonated water is primarily water infused with carbon dioxide gas under pressure, making it fizzy. The carbonation process is generally safe and does not significantly alter the nutritional profile of the water. It is often used as a base for flavored beverages and can be a refreshing alternative to still water.
