Bubly Sparkling Water, Raspberry, 12 Ounce
Summary
This sparkling water contains only carbonated water and natural flavor, which keeps the ingredient list minimal and clean. However, the use of 'natural flavor' is a concern due to its lack of transparency and potential for being highly processed. Despite being ultra-processed, the absence of harmful additives like artificial sweeteners or dyes helps maintain a reasonable score.
