Sunkist Soda ingredients: what's banned overseas?
Parent company: Keurig Dr Pepper (licensed from Sunkist Growers)
About Sunkist Soda
Sunkist Soda is an orange-flavored carbonated beverage produced by Keurig Dr Pepper under license from Sunkist Growers, sold at grocery chains and convenience stores across the US. It is one of the most popular orange sodas in the US and is positioned as a citrus alternative to cola sodas.
Common concerns with Sunkist Soda products
Sunkist Soda contains Yellow 6 (Sunset Yellow) as its primary artificial colorant, a dye that requires warning labels in the EU and UK. It also uses high-fructose corn syrup and caffeine (distinguishing it from most orange sodas). The artificial dye gives Sunkist its characteristic bright orange color. In the EU, an equivalent orange soda using Yellow 6 would need to carry a label warning of potential adverse effects on children's activity and attention.
