Common questions

Is Reed's Ginger beer healthy?

Reed's Ginger beer scores 34/100 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 Reed's Ginger beer?

Reed's Ginger beer lists 12 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, Cane Sugar, Ginger Root, Flavourings and Citric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Reed's Ginger beer contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Reed's Ginger beer’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 Reed's Ginger beer?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Reed's Ginger beer yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Reed's Ginger beer compare to other soda & soft drinks?

At 34/100 Reed's Ginger beer 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.

Is Reed's Ginger beer organic?

Reed's Ginger beer is not certified organic in our data.

Has Reed's Ginger beer been lab tested?

Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Reed's Ginger beer, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
