Analysis updated June 2026 · How Scout scores

Summary
This zero-calorie soda is ultra-processed, which limits its potential score. While it avoids artificial sweeteners and uses stevia, the presence of 'natural flavors' is a concern due to their lack of transparency and potential for containing undisclosed additives. The minimal number of additives is a positive aspect, but the processing level and use of flavoring agents impact the overall rating.
