Schweppes soda water
Summary
Schweppes soda water is primarily composed of carbonated water with added sodium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate, which are generally safe and commonly used for mineral enhancement. The product is minimally processed, maintaining a clean label with no artificial additives or sweeteners. However, the use of municipal water as a source and the potential for microplastic exposure from packaging slightly impact its overall rating.
