Polar Premium Ginger Ale

Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Polar Premium Ginger Ale scores 27/100 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.

Polar Premium Ginger Ale lists 5 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Natural Flavors and Caramel Color. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 27/100 Polar Premium Ginger Ale 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.
