Kool-Aid Strawberry Drink Mix

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Kool-Aid Strawberry Drink Mix 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.

Kool-Aid Strawberry Drink Mix lists 6 ingredients, starting with Citric Acid, Salt, Red 40, Calcium Phosphate and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin c). Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Kool-Aid Strawberry Drink Mix scores worse than most water we have scored. A higher-scoring option in water is Eska Eau de Source Naturelle at 100/100.
