Common questions
Is Gatorade healthy?
Gatorade scores 15/100 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 Gatorade?
Gatorade lists 13 ingredients, starting with Water, Sugar, Dextrose, Citric Acid and Salt. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
Does Gatorade contain seed oils?
No. Nothing in Gatorade’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 Gatorade?
We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Gatorade yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.
How does Gatorade compare to other sports & electrolyte drinks?
At 15/100 Gatorade scores worse than most sports & electrolyte drinks we have scored.
Is Gatorade organic?
Gatorade is not certified organic in our data.
Has Gatorade been lab tested?
Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Gatorade, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
