Summary
This sparkling water contains minimal ingredients, primarily carbonated mineral water and natural flavors, which are highly processed and can obscure the absence of real ingredients. Despite its clean nutritional profile with negligible sodium content, the presence of natural flavors and its high processing level limit its score. The product's simplicity and lack of harmful additives are positive, but the processing level imposes a cap on its rating.
