About DR. K SODA
Big K Dr. K Soda is a cherry-spice blended carbonated soft drink marketed under The Kroger Co.'s Big K store-brand soda sub-brand, offering a value-positioned alternative to the pepper-type cola segment dominated by Dr Pepper. This variant appears to be a larger serving size format of the same formulation as the 240 ml entry, based on an identical ingredient declaration.
The formulation consists of carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural and artificial flavors, sodium benzoate (preservative), and caffeine. High fructose corn syrup provides the caloric sweetness base. Caramel color (likely Class IV, a commonly used type in cola-style beverages) contributes brown coloration. Phosphoric acid regulates tartness. Sodium benzoate prevents microbial growth under the product's acidic pH conditions. Natural and artificial flavors define the pepper-type flavor blend without individual components being disclosed.
Per 100 milliliters, the product provides 45 calories and 11.02 grams of carbohydrates, with no fat, no protein, and no dietary fiber. The slight caloric difference from the 240 ml variant likely reflects rounding in the USDA data. No major allergens under FASTER Act 2023 are present. The caffeine content makes the product unsuitable for caffeine-sensitive populations, including young children. Not appropriate for low-sugar or low-calorie dietary plans without accounting for the HFCS-derived carbohydrate load.
