Summary

This tangerine soda contains added cane sugar, which contributes to excessive calorie intake and potential health issues. The use of natural tangerine flavor, while derived from natural sources, is highly processed and lacks transparency. Despite the presence of beneficial ingredients like tangerine juice and vitamin C, the product is ultra-processed, which limits its overall healthiness.
