What to know about Paper Boat Zero Sugar Peach Sparkling Drink
Zero sugar, zero calories, and a long additive list
A peach-flavoured carbonated drink in a 600 ml bottle, made from carbonated water, two sweeteners (erythritol 968 and sucralose 955), natural and nature-identical flavours, acidity regulators, sodium benzoate (211) and two colours (110 and 124). It is aimed at people who want a fizzy cold drink without sugar or calories.
What you get is a drink with 0 kcal, 0 g sugar and 0 g protein per 100 ml, and 2.0 mg sodium. A 200 ml serve has 0 kcal and about 4 mg sodium, and the bottle holds three servings. What it costs is on the ingredient side: there is nothing in it that feeds you, and the list carries several additives.
The pack says zero sugar, zero calories and no aspartame, and all three hold. The peach is flavouring only, since no fruit or juice is listed, and the colours and preservative are part of the recipe. CleanPlate scores it ED1.
Why Paper Boat Zero Sugar Peach Sparkling Drink scores ED1
Nutrition is an E because the drink has no energy, protein, fibre or minerals. Ingredients are a D for sweeteners, two colours and flavouring. Risk is a 1 because sugar is 0 g and sodium 2.0 mg per 100 ml.
Very low nutrient density

- Energy
- 0 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Energy, protein, carbohydrate, sugar and fat are all 0 per 100 ml, and no fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared. With no protein source in the list, there is nothing to earn credit on this axis.
That is expected for a flavoured soda. The grade reflects what the drink adds nutritionally, not that it is harmful.
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.
Heavily processed or flagged substances

- Sodium Benzoate, Sunset Yellow FCF
02 Ingredient integrity: why D
Carbonated water leads, which is fine. The points are lost further down: sucralose and erythritol each cost ingredient points, as do the colours Sunset Yellow FCF (110) and Ponceau 4R (124), and the nature-identical flavouring.
Sodium benzoate (211), citric acid (330) and sodium citrates (331) are listed but cost nothing. No label promise is hollow, so there is no [L] flag: the zero sugar and no aspartame claims are both true.
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
- 2 mg
03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is the lowest grade, a 1. Sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0 g, trans fat is 0 g and energy is 0 kcal per 100 ml.
Sodium is the only number above zero, at 2.0 mg per 100 ml, about 4 mg in a 200 ml serve. It has almost no effect on the risk grade.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Paper Boat Zero Sugar Peach Sparkling Drink live up to its claims?
The zero sugar, zero calories and no aspartame claims all hold at 0 g sugar and 0 kcal per 100 ml. The peach is flavouring only, and a retailer line on preservatives conflicts with the pack.
- Partly true
“Peach”
No peach or fruit juice is listed. The taste comes from natural and nature-identical flavours, and the back of the pack says peach flavoured.
- On the packHolds
“Zero sugar, zero calories”
Sugar, added sugar and energy are all 0 per 100 ml. The sweetness comes from erythritol and sucralose.
- On the packHolds
“No aspartame”
Aspartame is not listed. The sweeteners used are erythritol (968) and sucralose (955).
- Retail listingBe careful
“No added sugar & no added preservatives”
The retailer page says no added preservatives, but the pack lists preservative sodium benzoate (211). The no added sugar part holds.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Sodium on the retailer page”
The retailer page shows 4.3 mg sodium per 100 ml, while the pack shows 2.0 mg. Either way it is very low.
What's in Paper Boat Zero Sugar Peach Sparkling Drink?
Carbonated water leads, followed by erythritol and sucralose, flavours, acidity regulators, sodium benzoate and two colours. The sweeteners, colours and preservative are what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Carbonated water comes first, so the drink is mostly fizzy water. Erythritol (968) and sucralose (955) supply the sweetness, and natural and nature-identical flavours give the peach taste. Citric acid (330) and sodium citrates (331) balance the tartness, sodium benzoate (211) preserves it, and Sunset Yellow FCF (110) and Ponceau 4R (124) colour it.
Ingredients to watch
- Sucralose and erythritolConcern
Two sweeteners (955 and 968) replace the sugar, and each costs ingredient points. Erythritol can cause stomach upset in some people when they have a lot.
- Sunset Yellow FCF (110) and Ponceau 4R (124)Concern
Two synthetic colours, each costing ingredient points. They add colour only, with no nutritional role.
- Nature-identical flavouringWorth watching
This gives the peach taste, since no fruit is listed. It costs a small number of ingredient points.
- Sodium benzoate (211)Worth watching
A preservative that costs no ingredient points, but it sits against the retailer line about no added preservatives.
- Sugar and caloriesFine
0 g sugar and 0 kcal per 100 ml, and 2.0 mg sodium.
What it doesn’t have
- No fruit or juice is listed, so the peach is taste only.
- No vitamins, minerals or fibre are declared.
Who should eat Paper Boat Zero Sugar Peach Sparkling Drink?
A few times a week for most adults. Children and teens, and pregnancy, should have it less often because of the sweeteners and colours.
