Common questions

Is Dr Pepper Root beer healthy?

Dr Pepper Root beer scores 17/100 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 Dr Pepper Root beer?

Dr Pepper Root beer lists 6 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Sodium Benzoate and Natural and Artificial Flavors. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Dr Pepper Root beer contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Dr Pepper Root beer’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Dr Pepper Root beer?
