What to know about Paper Boat Zero Sparkling Mango Passion
Zero sugar and zero calories, but no mango
A 600 ml bottle of flavoured sparkling water: carbonated water, the sweeteners erythritol (968) and sucralose (955), acidity regulators (330, 331), nature-identical and natural flavouring substances, iodised salt, sodium benzoate (211) as preservative, and the colours sunset yellow (110) and tartrazine (102). It is bought by people who want a fizzy, fruit-flavoured drink without sugar or calories.
What you get is a drink with 0 kcal, 0 g sugar, 0 g fat and 0 g protein per 100 ml. Sodium is 30 mg per 100 ml, so 60 mg in the 200 ml serve and 180 mg in the full bottle. There are no vitamins, minerals or fibre. The cost is on the ingredient side: sweeteners, dyes and flavouring do the work that fruit would do.
The name and front say Mango Passion, and the ingredient list names no mango. The taste and the yellow colour come from flavourings and dyes, and that sets the [L] flag. The zero sugar and zero calorie claims are true. CleanPlate scores it [L]EE1.
Does Paper Boat Zero Sparkling Mango Passion live up to its claims?
The zero sugar and zero calorie claims hold, with 0 g sugar and 0 kcal per 100 ml. The mango in the name does not: no mango is in the ingredient list.
- Product nameMisleading
“Mango Passion”
No mango is in the ingredient list. The flavour comes from nature-identical and natural flavouring substances, and the colour from two dyes.
- On the packHolds
“No Sugar | No Calories”
0 g sugar, 0 g added sugar and 0 kcal per 100 ml. The sweetness comes from erythritol and sucralose, which the pack declares as a non-caloric sweetener.
- Product nameHolds
“Zero Sparkling”
It is carbonated water, the first ingredient, so it does fizz.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Perfect for hydration”
The retailer page shows perfect for hydration, the pack shows Hardly Hydrates. It is mostly water, but the pack itself does not promise hydration.
Why Paper Boat Zero Sparkling Mango Passion scores [L]EE1
Nutrition is an E because there are 0 kcal and no protein, fibre or vitamins. Ingredients are an E on sweeteners, dyes and flavouring, plus the missing mango. Risk is a 1 on 30 mg sodium per 100 ml.
Very low nutrient density

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 0 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
There is nothing to credit. Energy, protein, carbohydrate, sugar and fat are all 0 per 100 ml, and no fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared. No protein source is identified, so the grade bottoms out.
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.
Severe ingredient concerns
- Base
- Carbonated Water
- Sweeteners
- None added
- Additives
- 3
- Flagged
- Sodium Benzoate, Tartrazine
02 Ingredient integrity: why E
Sweeteners 968 (erythritol) and 955 (sucralose) cost ingredient points, as do the nature-identical flavouring and the two dyes, sunset yellow (110) and tartrazine (102). Sodium benzoate (211), citric acid (330) and sodium citrates (331) cost nothing.
Mango is in the name and absent from the ingredient list. That hollow promise sets the [L] flag and costs further ingredient points. The taste comes from flavourings, not fruit.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Clean
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 30 mg
03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is the one axis with nothing to mark down: sugar, saturated fat, trans fat and energy are all 0. Sodium is 30 mg per 100 ml, from the iodised salt, which is a very small share of the day's limit.
A serve of 200 ml has 60 mg sodium, and the whole 600 ml bottle has 180 mg.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Paper Boat Zero Sparkling Mango Passion?
Carbonated water leads, followed by two sweeteners, acidity regulators and flavour. Watch the two dyes, the sweeteners and the absent mango.
The ingredient list, read for you
Carbonated water leads, so the drink is fizzy water. Next come two sweeteners, erythritol (968) and sucralose (955), which replace the sugar, and acidity regulators (330, 331) for tartness. Flavours, listed as nature-identical and natural flavouring substances, give the mango passion taste.
A little iodised salt and sodium benzoate (211) as preservative follow. The colours sunset yellow (110) and tartrazine (102) come last. There is no mango, passion fruit or juice anywhere in the list.
Ingredients to watch
- No mango in the listConcern
Mango is named on the pack but is not an ingredient. This hollow promise costs ingredient points and sets the [L] flag.
- Dyes 110 and 102Concern
Sunset yellow FCF and tartrazine are synthetic colours that give the drink its look. Each costs ingredient points.
- Sweeteners 968 and 955Worth watching
Erythritol and sucralose replace the sugar. Both cost ingredient points, and the pack says it contains a non-caloric sweetener.
- FlavouringWorth watching
Nature-identical and natural flavouring substances supply all the fruit taste, and cost ingredient points.
- Sodium benzoate (211)Worth watching
A preservative that is listed, but it costs no ingredient points. The pack says to refrigerate after opening.
- Sugar and caloriesFine
0 g sugar, 0 g added sugar and 0 kcal per 100 ml, and sodium is 30 mg per 100 ml.
What it doesn’t have
- No fruit or juice is listed, despite the mango passion name.
- No vitamins, minerals or fibre are declared.
