About CITRUS FLAVORED SODA, CITRUS
Mountain Lightning Citrus Flavored Soda is Walmart's private-label analog to Mountain Dew, sold under the Mountain Lightning sub-brand — one of Walmart's direct National Brand Equivalent (NBE) sodas positioned at a significantly lower price point. Each 360-milliliter serving contains 53 calories, 13.89 grams of carbohydrates, and no fat, protein, or fiber. Calorie density is approximately 14.7 calories per 100 ml, consistent with full-sugar citrus sodas.
The formulation leads with carbonated water and high fructose corn syrup as the sweetener — matching the original Mountain Dew recipe approach. Citric acid provides tartness, while orange juice concentrate contributes trace citrus character and color. Natural flavor supplements the citrus profile. Gum acacia serves as an emulsifier and foam stabilizer. Potassium citrate adjusts pH, and potassium benzoate is used as a preservative. Caffeine is declared — a key characteristic distinguishing Mountain Lightning from non-caffeinated citrus sodas. Calcium disodium EDTA protects against metal-catalyzed flavor degradation.
Brominated vegetable oil (BVO) is listed — a controversial emulsifier that was the subject of an FDA ban finalized in 2023, with manufacturers required to reformulate. This entry likely represents a pre-ban formula. BVO has raised health concerns related to bromine accumulation. Yellow 5 (tartrazine) is the artificial color, which carries an advisory in the EU for hyperactivity in children. No allergens are declared. This product is not suitable for consumers avoiding HFCS, caffeine, artificial colors, or BVO.
