The product is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients, which are two critical factors in its low rating.

These include natural and artificial flavors, potassium sorbate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, glucuronolactone, and malic acid. Additionally, it has known harmful additives like artificial flavor and sodium benzoate. The presence of these ingredients contributes to the product’s negative evaluation.
Furthermore, the product’s score is adversely affected by the inclusion of high fructose corn syrup, which is associated with various health concerns. Despite being listed under artificial flavor, it is a significant concern for those looking for healthier food alternatives.
