Zevia Grape Soda
Analysis updated August 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
This grape soda is ultra-processed, which limits its potential score. While it avoids artificial sweeteners and dyes, the presence of 'natural flavors' raises concerns due to their lack of transparency and potential for being heavily processed. The use of stevia as a sweetener is a positive aspect, but the overall processing level and inclusion of non-specific flavoring agents impact its rating.
