CALORIE FREE NATURAL ORANGE FLAVORED SPARKLING WATER
Summary
This sparkling water contains only carbonated water and natural flavor, which keeps the ingredient list minimal. However, the use of 'natural flavor' can be problematic due to its vague sourcing and potential inclusion of undisclosed additives. Despite being ultra-processed, the absence of artificial sweeteners, dyes, or seed oils helps maintain a relatively favorable score.
