Summary

This sparkling water product is minimally processed, consisting primarily of carbonated water and natural flavors, which contributes to its high score. However, the use of natural flavors introduces a slight penalty due to potential processing and lack of transparency about the specific flavoring agents used. The product benefits from being free of harmful contaminants and additives, aligning well with clean label standards.
