Elderflower Soft Drink

Barcode 200030236602
Ultra-Processed Food (UPF)

Yes — Elderflower Soft Drink is ultra-processed.

Not a great choice for everyday.

This is an ultra-processed soft drink because it contains sweeteners, which are pre-identified as UPF ingredients, along with natural elderflower flavour and the preservatives potassium sorbate (E202) and sodium benzoate (E211). These industrial additives and flavouring contribute to its UPF classification. Carbon dioxide, sugar, acidity regulators, and natural mineral water do not independently determine the classification.
