First Choice Cola Zero

Breakdown

6 ingredients to avoid

First Choice Cola Zero scores 24/100 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.

First Choice Cola Zero lists 9 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, Caramel Color, Phosphoric Acid, Aspartame and Potassium Benzoate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 24/100 First Choice Cola Zero scores worse than most soda & soft drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in soda & soft drinks is Vichy Catalan Agua con Gas at 100/100.
