Sparkling Seltzer Water
Summary
This sparkling seltzer water is minimally processed, containing only carbonated water and natural flavors, which contributes to its clean label. However, the presence of natural flavors introduces a slight level of processing and potential variability in ingredient sourcing, which can affect the overall purity compared to pure spring or aquifer water. The lack of detailed information on source quality and potential contaminants also impacts the score.
