Summary
This sparkling mineral water is penalized due to its high processing level, which includes the addition of carbon dioxide for carbonation. While the product is generally safe and free from harmful contaminants, the use of an additive and the ultra-processing nature limit its score. The water itself is a simple product with minimal ingredients, but the processing level prevents it from achieving a higher rating.

The mineral content can vary based on the source, offering some electrolytes but generally not in significant amounts. The carbonation process is natural, but excessive consumption may lead to bloating or discomfort.
