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. There is nothing for the nutrition grade to credit, so it sits at the bottom.
That is what flavoured soda water is. The grade says it adds no nutrients, not that it adds harm.
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.

02 Ingredient integrity: why D
Carbonated water leads the list, with acidity regulators 330 and 331(iii), sucralose, sodium benzoate (211) and flavours after it. Citric acid, sodium citrates and sodium benzoate cost no ingredient points.
Sucralose is the biggest cost, and the nature-identical flavours cost a smaller amount. No hollow label promise is found, so the label itself costs nothing.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1

Does Sober Monkey Lemon Flavoured Soda Water live up to its claims?
Zero Sugar and calorie-free both hold at 0 g sugar and 0 kcal per 100 ml. The lemon is flavouring only, and the flavour wording differs between the pack and the retailer page.
- On the packHolds
“Zero Sugar”
Total and added sugar are both 0 g per 100 ml, and the sweetness comes from sucralose.
- Product namePartly true
“Lemon”
No lemon, juice or zest is listed. The taste comes from natural and nature-identical flavours, which is an honest flavoured-drink name.
- Retail listingHolds
“Zero-sugar, calorie-free soda”
Energy is 0 kcal per 100 ml, so a 200 ml serve and a 250 ml can are both calorie-free.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Natural lemon zest flavor”
The retailer page shows natural lemon zest flavour and Lemon Lime, while the pack shows Lemon with natural and nature-identical flavours.
- Product nameBe careful
“Soda Water”
It is carbonated water, but it also holds sucralose, sodium benzoate and flavours, so it is not plain soda.
What's in Sober Monkey Lemon Flavoured Soda Water?
Carbonated water leads, followed by acidity regulators, sucralose, sodium benzoate and flavours. The sweetener and the nature-identical flavours are what cost ingredient points.
6 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern. 1 more entry looks like an additive we have not researched yet.
The ingredient list, read for you
Carbonated water comes first, so the drink is water and gas. The acidity regulators (330, 331(iii)) give tartness and control the acidity. Sucralose is the sweetener, sodium benzoate (211) is the preservative, and the flavours, natural and nature-identical, give the lemon taste.
What the additives do
Sodium Benzoate (low concern): preservative for acidic foods. A preservative for acidic foods and drinks. With vitamin C it can form small amounts of benzene under heat and light. More on Sodium Benzoate.
Not in our additive research yet: Acidity Regulators (330, 331(iii)).
