Di(2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP)53.4 ppbof 6 ppb

Over the limit — 8.9×US EPA drinking-water MCL, 40 CFR 141.61(c) — 0.006 mg/L. Applied to all foods as the TIGHTEST published DEHP number; the EU food-contact limit is looser (Reg. (EU) 10/2011 as amended by 2023/1442: SML 0.6 mg/kg, plus the 0.6 mg/kg DEHP-equivalent group limit with DBP/BBP/DIBP).

7% of the limitEU food-contact plastics, Reg. (EU) 10/2011 as amended by 2023/1442 — DBP SML 0.12 mg/kg (cut from 0.3). Also inside the 0.6 mg/kg DEHP-equivalent group limit (DBP x5).

Bisphenol a (BPA)NDof 1 ppb

Not detectedEU Reg. (EU) 2024/3190 — BPA banned in food-contact materials from 20 Jan 2025 (old 0.05 mg/kg SML repealed); the residual exemptions require NO detectable migration at a 1 ug/kg detection limit. 1 ppb is therefore the tightest published number.

Common questions

Is Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix healthy?

Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix scores 0/100 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, plus lab results from its product family, Emergen-C fizzy vitamin C powder (fructose base). 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 Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix?

Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix lists 14 ingredients, starting with Fructose, Maltodextrin, Citric Acid, Malic Acid and Acacia. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix’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 Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix?

Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix compare to other vitamins?

At 0/100 Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix scores worse than most vitamins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in vitamins is NOW Foods Extra Strength Astaxanthin 10 mg at 97/100.

Is Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix organic?

Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix is not certified organic in our data.

Has Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix been lab tested?

This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests. Those results are in the family's Contaminants section above; its own results may differ.

Does Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix contain phthalates?
