Common questions

Is San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water healthy?

San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water scores 60/100 on Tallow — our okay 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 San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water?

San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water lists 7 ingredients, starting with Chloride, Sulfate, Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water’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 San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water?

San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water compare to other water?

At 60/100 San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water lands mid-scale — below the typical score in water, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in water is Great Value Purified Drinking Water at 100/100.

Is San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water organic?

San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water is not certified organic in our data.

Has San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water been lab tested?

Yes. 111 substances in San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water have a laboratory result on file — see the Contaminants section above for each reading and the limit it was measured against.

Does San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water contain heavy metals?

Yes. A lab detected nickel at 1.6 ppb against a 100 ppb limit and thallium at 0.41 ppb against a 2 ppb limit in San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water. Every reading is under its limit. It also tested for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, antimony and chromium and found none above its detection limit. Each reading is in the Contaminants section above.

Does San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water contain glyphosate?

No. A lab tested San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water for glyphosate and found none above its detection limit.

Does San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water contain phthalates?
