Reviewed 2 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This carbonated beverage is primarily composed of water, prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides and inulin), and apple cider vinegar. While it offers a source of dietary fiber, the presence of 'Natural Flavours' without further disclosure limits transparency. The use of fruit juice concentrates, even in trace amounts, contributes free sugars, which the WHO recommends limiting. Individuals with sensitive digestive systems may experience discomfort from the prebiotics, especially if consumed in large quantities. The product is generally suitable for healthy adults, but those monitoring sugar intake or with digestive sensitivities should be cautious.

Fruit Juice Concentrate
Fruit-juice concentrate is fruit juice with the water removed, leaving concentrated sugars (largely fructose and glucose). Nutritionally it behaves as a free sugar and is frequently used to sweeten products that market themselves as having "no added sugar". The WHO recommends no free sugars for infants and young children, so it is a particular concern in foods aimed at babies and toddlers.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
