Common questions

Is Canada Dry Ginger Ale healthy?

Canada Dry Ginger Ale scores 5/100 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 Canada Dry Ginger Ale?

Canada Dry Ginger Ale lists 7 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Ginger Extract, Natural Flavors and Citric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Canada Dry Ginger Ale contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Canada Dry Ginger Ale’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
