Dobra Pop Goli Banta Soda - Mango
Published
Dobra Pop Goli Banta Soda Mango is a sweetened fizzy drink in a marble-stopper bottle, but the mango in the name is flavouring only. It scores [L]EC4: nutrition is low because it is sugar and water, ingredients lose points for flavouring, two synthetic colours, gum arabic and the missing mango, and risk is high because of the sugar. Best as an occasional treat.

What to know about Dobra Pop Goli Banta Soda - Mango
A mango soda with no mango, and 25.6 g sugar
Dobra Pop Goli Banta Soda Mango is a carbonated soft drink sold in a 225 ml bottle sealed with a glass marble, a modern take on the classic goli or banta soda. It is built from mineral water, sugar and carbon dioxide, with nature-identical mango flavouring, two synthetic colours (INS 133 and INS 122), gum arabic, sodium citrates, malic acid and a preservative (E211). No percentages are declared.
One bottle is one serve: 139 kcal, 25.6 g added sugar, 0.9 g protein and 37.2 mg sodium. Per 100 ml that is 61.9 kcal and 11.4 g added sugar. There is no fat and very little sodium, so nearly all the cost sits in the sugar.
The name and front say Mango, but the list has no mango, no fruit and no juice. The taste comes from nature-identical flavouring, which the pack admits on the back, and that sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]EC4.
Does Dobra Pop Goli Banta Soda - Mango live up to its claims?
The mango in the name does not hold: no mango is listed, only nature-identical flavouring. The back-of-pack wording Mango Flavour is honest, and the flavouring disclosure holds.
- Product nameMisleading
“Mango”
No mango is listed. The flavour comes from nature-identical flavouring substances, and the ingredient named in the product name is absent.
- On the packPartly true
“Carbonated Water – Mango Flavour”
Calling it mango flavour is honest, and the back says it contains added nature-identical flavouring. It is still flavour only, with no fruit.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Fizzy banta soda with a sweet, juicy mango flavour”
Sweet is accurate, at 25.6 g added sugar per bottle. Juicy suggests fruit, but the list has no juice or mango.
- On the packHolds
“Contains added nature identical flavouring substances”
The ingredient list names nature-identical flavouring (mango), so the disclosure matches.
Why Dobra Pop Goli Banta Soda - Mango scores [L]EC4
Nutrition is an E because the drink is sugar and water with 0.38 g protein per 100 ml. Ingredients are a C, held back by flavouring, two colours, gum arabic and the missing mango. Risk is a 4 on 11.4 g sugar per 100 ml.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0.38 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 62 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
There is nothing here to earn nutrition points. Protein is 0.38 g per 100 ml, no protein source is identified, and there is no fibre. No vitamins or minerals are declared.
The drink is 61.9 kcal per 100 ml, almost all of it from sugar, so one bottle gives 139 kcal with no nutrients alongside.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.
Mixed processing and additives
- Base
- Mineral Water
- Sweeteners
- Sugar
- Additives
- 4
- Flagged
- Carmoisine, Sodium Benzoate
02 Ingredient integrity: why C
The list is simple but industrial: mineral water, sugar, carbon dioxide, flavouring, a gum, an acidity regulator, colours and a preservative. Nature-identical flavouring costs ingredient points, as do carmoisine (122), brilliant blue (133) and gum arabic (414).
Sodium benzoate (E211), malic acid (296) and sodium citrates (331) cost nothing in the grade.
The name promises mango and no mango is listed, which sets the [L] flag and costs label points.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 11.4 g
- Sodium
- 16.6 mg
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar drives the risk number: 11.39 g of added sugar per 100 ml, or 25.6 g in one 225 ml bottle. It makes up nearly all of the risk score.
Energy adds a little at 61.9 kcal per 100 ml. Sodium is low at 16.55 mg per 100 ml, and there is no saturated or trans fat.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

The ingredient list, read for you
Mineral water, sugar and carbon dioxide lead, so this is sweetened fizzy water. Nature-identical mango flavouring gives the taste. Gum arabic (414) and sodium citrates (331) stabilise it, malic acid (296) adds tartness, and two synthetic colours (133 and 122) give the colour. Sodium benzoate (E211) preserves it. No percentages are declared.
