Summary

This sparkling seltzer water is primarily composed of carbonated water, which is a clean and simple ingredient. However, the inclusion of 'natural flavors' introduces a level of processing that lacks transparency, as these flavors can be highly processed and may contain various additives. Despite being ultra-processed, the absence of artificial sweeteners, dyes, or seed oils helps maintain a moderate score.

The lack of transparency in their composition raises concerns about potential allergens and additives. They are often criticized for being overly processed and not truly 'natural' in the traditional sense.

Risks

Potential risks include allergic reactions and the presence of undisclosed additives.
