Breakdown

7 ingredients to avoid

Sweet Shoppe Energy Drink scores 13/100 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.

Sweet Shoppe Energy Drink lists 20 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, Sugar, Glucose Syrup, Acid and Citric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 13/100 Sweet Shoppe 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.
