Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:

This product earns a rating of 2 out of 5 green leaves. Celsius Sparkling Wild Berry is a non-organic beverage that includes ingredients like sucralose and natural flavors, which raise concerns regarding its healthfulness and purity. The lack of organic certification deducts from its clean food status, signaling that the product may not meet the rigorous standards some consumers seek.
The inclusion of citric acid, often used for flavor enhancement and preservation, results in a deduction due to its categorization as an added sugar. Although it is naturally occurring in citrus fruits, when used as an additive, it does not offer the same health benefits and is treated as an unnecessary sugar in this scoring system.
Sucralose, a synthetic sweetener, causes significant concern. While it provides sweetness without the calories of sugar, it is not a clean ingredient and is associated with potential health risks. Therefore, its presence in the product results in a substantial score reduction.
Natural flavors, despite their name, are not always derived from the indicated source and may be produced through extensive processing. This ambiguity and potential for harmful compounds result in a penalty, as the exact nature and origin of these flavors are not transparent.
The product does use non-GMO ingredients, which is a positive aspect. However, the overall ingredient profile of Celsius Sparkling Wild Berry reflects a need for improvement. To enhance its green leaf rating, the product could benefit from using organic ingredients, eliminating artificial sweeteners like sucralose, and providing more transparency around the term ‘natural flavors.’
The product’s current standing reflects a significant distance from the ideal of a clean and healthy food option. For consumers prioritizing pure and organic products, Celsius Sparkling Wild Berry does not align with those values. The score reflects this misalignment, and the product would need substantial reformulation to meet the standards of a cleaner food choice.
