Summary
This sparkling water contains only carbonated water and natural flavors, which keeps the ingredient list minimal. However, the use of 'natural flavors' can be problematic due to its potential to include undisclosed additives and synthetic chemicals, impacting transparency and clean labeling. Despite being ultra-processed, the absence of artificial sweeteners, dyes, or excessive additives helps maintain a moderate score.
