Ingredients worth knowing
Carbonated Water, Sugar, Citric Acid (INS 330), Tri-Sodium Citrate (INS 331(iii)), Sodium Benzoate (INS 211), Natural Lemon Flavours
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.
Tri-Sodium Citrate (INS 331iii)
Same citrate-salt family as sodium citrate; buffering agent. Low concern, minor sodium contributor.
Sodium Benzoate (INS 211)
Common preservative, generally recognised as safe. Can form trace benzene when combined with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) plus heat/light — a longstanding, low-level concern; typical exposure considered well within safe limits by regulators.
