Vitaminwater ingredients: what's banned overseas?
Parent company: The Coca-Cola Company
About Vitaminwater
Vitaminwater is a line of enhanced water beverages produced by The Coca-Cola Company, marketed as vitamin-fortified waters in multiple flavors. It is sold at grocery chains, convenience stores, and mass retailers across the US. The brand was subject to a class action lawsuit over its 'nutrient-enhanced water beverage' health claims given its high sugar content.
Common concerns with Vitaminwater products
Standard Vitaminwater contains crystalline fructose and cane sugar as sweeteners, with some varieties using erythritol and sucralose in 'Zero' versions. Some flavored varieties contain natural flavors and caramel color. Despite its health positioning, a 13.5oz bottle of standard Vitaminwater contains approximately 32g of added sugar — comparable to many sodas. Synthetic dyes are used in some flavors. The FTC required Coca-Cola to modify marketing claims about health benefits.
