At a glance
Summary
This seltzer water contains only carbonated water and natural flavors, which keeps the ingredient list minimal. However, the use of natural flavors, which can be highly processed and lack transparency, slightly detracts from its overall healthiness. Despite being ultra-processed, the absence of harmful additives like artificial sweeteners or dyes helps maintain a reasonable score.
