BLACK CHERRY FLAVORED SPARKLING WATER BEVERAGE
Summary
This sparkling water beverage is primarily composed of carbonated water, which is a clean and natural ingredient. However, the inclusion of 'natural flavors' introduces a level of processing and lack of transparency, as this term can encompass a wide range of chemical compounds. Despite being ultra-processed, the absence of artificial sweeteners, dyes, or seed oils helps maintain a moderate score.
