Common questions

Is Sprite healthy?

Sprite scores 35/100 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 Sprite?

Sprite lists 3 ingredients, starting with High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sodium Citrate and Sodium Benzoate. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Sprite contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Sprite’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 Sprite?

We don’t have a NOVA classification on file for Sprite yet, so the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Sprite compare to other soda & soft drinks?

At 35/100 Sprite 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 Sprite organic?

Sprite is not certified organic in our data.

Has Sprite been lab tested?

Not yet. No independent lab has published results for Sprite, so its score is based on its ingredient list, processing and packaging alone.
