Tropical Fruit Sparkling Water
Summary
This sparkling water contains only two ingredients: purified carbonated water and natural flavors. While the simplicity of the ingredient list is positive, the use of 'natural flavors' is a concern due to its vague nature and potential for containing synthetic additives. Additionally, the product is considered ultra-processed, which limits its overall health rating despite the absence of more harmful ingredients.
