Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Virgil's black cherry cream soda scores 86/100 on Tallow — our clean 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 black cherry cream soda lists 5 ingredients, starting with Sparkling Filtered Water, Cane Sugar, Natural Flavors, Vegetable Juice [for Color] and Malic Acid. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 86/100 Virgil's black cherry cream soda sits in our top band, among the better soda & soft drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in soda & soft drinks is Vichy Catalan Agua con Gas at 100/100.
