Pepsi Wild Cherry

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 4 ingredients to avoid

Pepsi Wild Cherry scores 5/100 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. Per serving it carries 0g protein and 70g sugar. 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.

Pepsi Wild Cherry lists 8 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Sugar and Phosphoric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

260 kcal per serving, or 46 kcal per 100ml. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Pepsi Wild Cherry on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 5/100 Pepsi Wild Cherry scores worse than most beverages we have scored. A higher-scoring option in beverages is Ice Mountain 100% Natural Spring Water at 100/100.
