Zyro by Karan Aujla Vita Cola Soft Drink
Published
Zyro by Karan Aujla Vita Cola is a zero-sugar, zero-calorie cola in a can, sweetened with sucralose and steviol glycosides and topped up with a few vitamins. It scores EE4: nothing nutritious in it, ingredients lose points for caramel colour, a stabiliser and the sweeteners, and risk is held up by the caffeine. Fine as an occasional fizzy drink, not a daily habit.

What to know about Zyro by Karan Aujla Vita Cola Soft Drink
No sugar, no calories, and not much else
Zyro by Karan Aujla Vita Cola is a 250 ml canned cola made from carbonated water, caramel colour (INS 150d), a stabiliser (INS 466), two acidity regulators, nature-identical cola flavouring, two sweeteners (sucralose and steviol glycosides), sodium benzoate, caffeine and added vitamins C and B12. It is aimed at cola drinkers who want the taste without sugar. No ingredient percentages are declared.
What you get is simple: 0 kcal, 0 g sugar and 6 mg sodium per 100 ml, so a 250 ml can has 0 kcal and about 15 mg sodium. It also has 9.2 mg caffeine per 100 ml, about 23 mg a can, and the added vitamins come to 8 mg vitamin C and 0.33 mcg vitamin B12 per 100 ml, which the pack prints as 25% and 37.5% of the daily allowance per can.
The zero sugar and zero calorie claims are true, and the vitamins are really there. What the pack leaves out is that the rest of the list is colour, stabiliser, sweeteners, flavour and preservative, with no protein or fibre. CleanPlate scores it EE4.
Why Zyro by Karan Aujla Vita Cola Soft Drink scores EE4
Nutrition is an E because there is no protein, fibre or energy to credit, and ingredients are an E on additives such as the stabiliser, caramel colour and sweeteners. Risk is a 4 because caffeine sets a minimum grade.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 0 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Vitamin C, Vitamin B12
- Energy
- 0 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
There is nothing to credit: 0 kcal, 0 g protein, 0 g carbohydrate and no fibre per 100 ml. With no protein source identified, the grade stays at the bottom.
Vitamin C (8 mg per 100 ml) and vitamin B12 (0.33 mcg per 100 ml) are added, but they do not lift the grade.
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
- 5
- Flagged
- Caramel Colour (Class IV), Sodium Benzoate
02 Ingredient integrity: why E
The list is mostly additives, and several cost ingredient points. The stabiliser carboxymethyl cellulose (INS 466) costs the most, then caramel colour (INS 150d) and sucralose (INS 955), with smaller costs for phosphoric acid (INS 338), steviol glycosides (INS 960) and the nature-identical flavouring.
Sodium benzoate (INS 211) and citric acid (INS 330) cost nothing on their own. No hydrogenated fat is listed, and the pack makes no hollow promise, so the label integrity score stays clean.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 6 mg
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar, saturated fat, trans fat and energy are all zero, and sodium is only 6 mg per 100 ml, so the numbers alone would give a very low risk.
The grade is a 4 because of the caffeine: 9.2 mg per 100 ml, about 23 mg in a 250 ml can. Caffeine sets a minimum risk grade, whatever the sugar and sodium say.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Zyro by Karan Aujla Vita Cola Soft Drink?
Carbonated water leads, followed by colour, a stabiliser, acidity regulators, flavour, two sweeteners and a preservative. The stabiliser, the sweeteners and the caffeine are the items to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Carbonated water leads, so most of the drink is water and gas. Caramel colour (INS 150d) gives the cola brown, a stabiliser (INS 466) keeps the body even, and phosphoric and citric acids (INS 338, 330) give the tang.
Nature-identical cola flavouring gives the taste, sucralose and steviol glycosides (INS 955, 960) give the sweetness, and sodium benzoate (INS 211) preserves it. Caffeine is declared at 9.2 mg per 100 ml, with vitamins C and B12 added last.
Ingredients to watch
- Stabiliser (INS 466)Concern
Carboxymethyl cellulose is the single biggest cost in the ingredient grade, and it adds nothing to the drink's nutrition.
- Sweeteners (INS 955, 960)Worth watching
Sucralose and steviol glycosides replace sugar, and sucralose costs ingredient points. The pack states it contains a non-caloric sweetener.
- CaffeineWorth watching
9.2 mg per 100 ml, about 23 mg in a 250 ml can. It sets the risk grade.
- Caramel colour (INS 150d)Worth watching
Sulphite ammonia caramel gives the colour and costs ingredient points.
- Sugar and caloriesFine
0 g sugar and 0 kcal per 100 ml, with 6 mg sodium.
What it doesn’t have
- No protein, fibre or minerals, apart from the added vitamins.
- No ingredient percentages are declared.
