Ingredients

  • Fructose
    Strong An added sugar. [1][2][3]
  • Acesulfame potassium (Ace-K)
    Strong In the NutriNet-Santé cohort, acesulfame-K intake was associated with higher cancer risk; cause and effect is not established. [4][5][6][2]
  • Sucralose
    Strong In a 2022 randomized study, sucralose and saccharin altered the gut microbiome and impaired glucose responses in some people; a 2023 lab study raised questions about its by-product sucralose-6-acetate. [7][8][9][6][2]
  • Natural and artificial flavors
    Strong The label does not disclose which flavoring substances are used. [10][2]
  • Modified starch
    Info An additive class typical of ultra-processed foods (NOVA group 4). [11]
  • Pectin
    Info An ingredient class typical of ultra-processed foods (NOVA group 4). [11]
  • Xanthan gum
    Info An ingredient class typical of ultra-processed foods (NOVA group 4). [11]
  • Potassium sorbate
    Strong EFSA (2019) set a group ADI of 11 mg/kg body weight (as sorbic acid); generally recognized as safe in the US. [12][13]

Processing

  • Ultra-processed (NOVA 4)
    Strong Classified NOVA 4: made with industrial ingredients and additives. [11]
  • 5 kinds of ultra-processing markers
    Emerging Industrial additive classes found: flavoring, industrial sugar or starch hydrolysate, modified starch, non-nutritive sweetener and thickener, stabilizer or gelling agent. [11]
