Ingredients worth knowing

Carbonated Water, Sucrose, Glucose, Citric Acid (INS 330), Taurine (0.4%), Sodium Bicarbonate (INS 500(ii)), Natural and Artificial (Fruit Blend – Vanilla and Pineapple) Flavours, Magnesium Carbonate (INS 504(ii)), Caramel Colour I (INS 150a), Caffeine (32 mg/100 ml), Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin, Vitamin B12

Citric Acid (INS 330)
Naturally occurring fruit acid used as an acidulant. Well-studied, low concern; frequent intake from acidic drinks can contribute to dental erosion.
Taurine
Amino-sulfonic acid the body also produces naturally. Considered safe at typical energy-drink levels; long-term interaction with caffeine in adolescents is less studied.
Sodium Bicarbonate (INS 500ii)
Common buffering/raising agent (baking soda). Low concern, negligible sodium contribution.
Magnesium Carbonate (INS 504ii)
Acidity regulator/anticaking agent. Low concern at food-use levels.
Caramel Colour I (INS 150a)
"Plain" caramel colour made without ammonia or sulphites — the lowest-concern of the four caramel colour classes; no 4-MEI flag (unlike Class IV / INS 150d).
Caffeine
Stimulant. Guidance generally advises against regular caffeine intake for young children; this pack states "not recommended for children under 3."
