Published · Last updated
A realistic serve of Schweppes Zero Calorie Sparkling Water (200 ml serve, a third of the 600 ml bottle) has 0 kcal, 0 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate, 0 g fat, 0 g added sugar and 1 mg sodium. Per 100 ml it has 0 kcal, 0 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate, 0 g fat, 0 g added sugar and 0 mg sodium.
Schweppes Zero Calorie Sparkling Water (Cranberry) is a flavoured fizzy water sweetened with two artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. It scores [L]EE1: nutrition is empty because there is nothing in it but water, ingredients lose points for sweeteners, flavouring and a cranberry that is not in the list, and risk is minimal. A calorie-free fizz for mixing or sipping, not a source of fruit.

Why Schweppes Zero Calorie Sparkling Water scores [L]EE1
Nutrition is an E because there is nothing to score: 0 kcal and no nutrients. Ingredients are an E on sweeteners, flavouring and a missing cranberry. Risk is a 1 because sugar, saturated fat and sodium are all near zero.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0 g
- Fibre

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 0 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
The drink has 0 kcal, 0 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate and 0 g fat per 100 ml, so there is nothing to earn nutrition credit. No protein contributor is identified.
No vitamins or minerals are declared. Sodium is 0.4 mg per 100 ml, which is effectively none.
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
- 2
- Flagged
- Acesulfame Potassium
02 Ingredient integrity: why E
The list is short: carbonated water, citric acid, flavouring, two sweeteners and potassium sorbate. Citric acid and potassium sorbate cost no points.
Nature-identical flavouring costs ingredient points, and so do the sweeteners: acesulfame potassium costs a little less than sucralose, which costs the most of the three.
The name promises cranberry and none is listed. That costs label-integrity points and sets the [L] flag.
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
- 0.4 mg
03 Load risk: why 1
Risk is the lowest grade. Sugar, saturated fat and trans fat are all 0, and energy is 0 kcal.
Sodium is 0.4 mg per 100 ml, so a 200 ml serve has 0.8 mg. Nothing here comes near a high line.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Schweppes Zero Calorie Sparkling Water live up to its claims?
Zero calories and no sugar hold, and the drink is caffeine-free. The cranberry in the name does not hold, because no cranberry is in the ingredient list.
- Product nameMisleading
“Cranberry”
No cranberry, juice or extract is listed. The taste comes from nature-identical flavouring, and the pack says Cranberry Flavoured in smaller print.
- On the packHolds
“Zero Calorie / No Sugar”
The panel shows 0 kcal, 0 g total sugar and 0 g added sugar per 100 ml. The sweetness comes from acesulfame potassium and sucralose.
- On the packBe careful
“Guilt Free. Bubbly without baggage.”
True for calories and sugar, but the drink carries two sweeteners, a flavouring and a preservative, and no nutrients.
- Retail listingHolds
“Caffeine-free”
No caffeine or caffeine source appears in the ingredient list.
What's in Schweppes Zero Calorie Sparkling Water?
Carbonated water with citric acid, nature-identical flavouring, two sweeteners and a preservative. The sweeteners and the flavouring are what to watch.
6 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern, 1 no concern. 2 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Carbonated water leads, followed by citric acid (330) as the acidity regulator. The taste is nature-identical flavouring, and the sweetness comes from acesulfame potassium (950) and sucralose (955). Potassium sorbate (202) keeps the drink from spoiling. No fruit, juice or extract is in the list, and no percentages are declared.
The label numbers, read for you
Per 100 ml the panel shows 0 kcal, 0 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate, 0 g total sugar, 0 g added sugar and 0 g fat. A 200 ml serve is therefore also zero on every one of those lines, and the 600 ml bottle holds three serves.
Sodium is 0.4 mg per 100 ml, or 0.8 mg in a 200 ml serve, which is negligible. No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so the drink adds nothing nutritionally beyond fluid.
What the additives do
Acesulfame Potassium (low concern): calorie-free sweetness. An artificial sweetener (Ace-K) around 200 times sweeter than sugar, often blended with sucralose or aspartame. More on Acesulfame Potassium.
Potassium Sorbate (no concern): stops mould and yeast. A widely used preservative against mould and yeast. Low toxicity. More on Potassium Sorbate.
Not in our additive research yet: Acidity Regulator (330); INS 955.
Ingredients to watch
- Flavors (nature identical flavouring substances)Worth watching
Gives the drink its cranberry-like taste without any fruit in the list. It costs ingredient points.
- Sucralose (955)Worth watching
Intense calorie-free sweetener that lets the drink taste sweet with no sugar. It costs ingredient points.
- Acesulfame potassium (950)Fine
Calorie-free sweetener used alongside sucralose to build the sweetness without sugar. It costs ingredient points.
- Potassium sorbate (202)Fine
Preservative that stops yeast and mould growing in a sweetened drink kept for months on the shelf.
What it doesn’t have
- No fruit, juice or cranberry extract is in the list, despite the name.
- No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
What to know about Schweppes Zero Calorie Sparkling Water
Zero calories, but no cranberry in it
Schweppes Zero Calorie Sparkling Water (Cranberry) is a 600 ml bottle of carbonated water with citric acid as the acidity regulator, nature-identical flavouring, two sweeteners (acesulfame potassium and sucralose) and potassium sorbate as a preservative. It is sold as a no-sugar fizzy drink for sipping on its own or mixing into cocktails. No percentages are declared.
What you get is a drink with nothing on the energy line: 0 kcal, 0 g sugar, 0 g carbohydrate, 0 g fat and 0 g protein per 100 ml. The pack prints a 200 ml serve, so a 600 ml bottle is three servings. The cost is on the ingredient side: the sweetness and taste are built from additives, with no fruit anywhere in the list.
The front says Cranberry, but the list has no cranberry, juice or extract. The flavour is nature-identical flavouring, and that is what sets the [L] flag. The zero-calorie and no-sugar promises are accurate. CleanPlate scores it [L]EE1.
