Mandarin Soda

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 5 ingredients to avoid

Schweppes Mandarin Soda scores 9/100 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 fiber, 0g protein and 10g 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.

Schweppes Mandarin Soda lists 16 ingredients, starting with Water, Sugar Or Fructose-glucose Syrup, Carbon Dioxide, Mandarin Juice Concentrate and Fruit. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

40 kcal per serving, or 16 kcal per 100ml. Calories are only part of the picture — Tallow scores Schweppes Mandarin Soda on what the ingredients are, not how many calories they carry.

At 9/100 Schweppes Mandarin Soda 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.
