How scoring works

The clean score reads only the ingredient label. Up to 60 points come from the 9 additive groups we check: each group not on the label earns its share, and a group named only in a "may contain" note earns half. Up to 25 points come from an organic claim we have confirmed. Points that do not apply to this kind of food are left out and the rest is scaled to 100.

This product: 8 of 9 groups not on the label. No confirmed organic claim.

For this soda & prebiotic soda, the comparison that matters most is sugar per can: compare the actual can size and the total- and added-sugars lines.

  • Good to knowUses non-sugar sweeteners: sucralose and acesulfame.
  • Worth checkingLists natural flavors; the specific flavoring ingredients are not disclosed.
