Black Cherry Flavored Sparkling Water
Summary
This sparkling water contains only carbonated water and natural flavors, which keeps the ingredient list minimal. However, the use of 'natural flavors' is a concern due to the lack of transparency and potential for high processing. Despite being ultra-processed, the absence of harmful additives like artificial sweeteners or dyes helps maintain a moderate score.
