Common questions

Is A&W Root Beer can healthy?

A&W Root Beer can scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in A&W Root Beer can?

A&W Root Beer can lists 7 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Sodium Benzoate and Natural Flavors. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does A&W Root Beer can contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in A&W Root Beer can’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
