Summary

This soda contains grapefruit juice from concentrate, which provides some natural sugars and flavor, but it is also high in added cane sugar, contributing to its caloric content. The presence of 'natural flavors' and ester gum indicates a higher level of processing, which limits its healthfulness. Despite being from a brand with good sourcing standards, the product's ultra-processed nature and added sugars impact its overall rating.
