Handcrafted Root Beer Soda

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Virgil's Handcrafted Root Beer Soda scores 65/100 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.

Virgil's Handcrafted Root Beer Soda lists 5 ingredients, starting with Sparkling Filtered Water, Cane Sugar, Natural Flavors, Caramel Color and Citric Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 65/100 Virgil's Handcrafted Root Beer Soda lands mid-scale — below the typical score in soda & soft drinks, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in soda & soft drinks is Spindrift Grapeade Sparkling Water at 100/100.
