Apple Cider
Summary
This apple cider is primarily made from apples, which are a natural source of vitamins and antioxidants, contributing positively to its nutritional profile. However, the inclusion of potassium sorbate as a preservative and its processed nature limit its score. While the cider contains minimal added sugars, the presence of a synthetic preservative and its processing level prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
