Rating:     Not Clean

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 2/5 green leaves, the Celsius Sparkling Strawberry Guava energy drink falls short of meeting the clean food criteria set by our website. This product is not organic and contains several ingredients that raise concerns about its healthfulness.

The drink’s formula includes Citric Acid and Sucralose, which are deducted points for being added sugars and artificial sweeteners, respectively. These ingredients often draw criticism for their potential health impacts. Additionally, the presence of ‘Natural Flavor’ is problematic. While ‘Natural Flavor’ might sound harmless, it is a vague term that does not disclose the actual substances used to create the flavoring, which can sometimes include chemicals of concern.

Moreover, the inclusion of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, a form of Vitamin B6, and Glucuronolactone, a substance found in many energy drinks, contributes to the deduction of points. Although these compounds are not inherently harmful, their synthesized forms and the context of their use in energy drinks have been subjected to scrutiny regarding their necessity and potential side effects.

The product does have some positive attributes, such as being non-GMO, which indicates some attention to ingredient sourcing. However, the overall composition of the Celsius Sparkling Strawberry Guava drink does not align with the principles of clean eating as defined by our standards. The energy drink relies on additives and artificial components that detract from its healthfulness.

For consumers seeking cleaner food options, the Celsius Sparkling Strawberry Guava would not be the ideal choice. Its score reflects the need for improvement in its formulation to eliminate unnecessary additives and artificial ingredients. A shift towards organic ingredients and transparency in flavoring substances would be essential steps to increase its rating. The product’s current standing as a healthier alternative is compromised by these factors, and its green leaf rating is indicative of its position in the crowded market of energy drinks.
