Red Bull Energy Drink

Breakdown

2 ingredients to avoid

Red Bull Energy Drink scores 37/100 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.

Red Bull Energy Drink lists 4 ingredients, starting with Phthalates, Sucrose, Glucose and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 37/100 Red Bull Energy Drink scores worse than most energy drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in energy drinks is Clean Simple Eats Energy + Focus Energy Drink, Lava Tropic, 12 fl oz at 39/100.
