Original Taste

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Coca-Cola Original Taste scores 41/100 on Tallow — our okay 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.

Coca-Cola Original Taste lists 6 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, Sugarglucose-fructose, Caramel Colour, Phosphoric Acid and Natural Flavour. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 41/100 Coca-Cola Original Taste lands mid-scale — below the typical score in soda & soft drinks, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in soda & soft drinks is Spindrift Grapeade Sparkling Water at 100/100.
