About DR. K SODA
Big K Dr. K Soda is a cherry-spice flavored carbonated soft drink sold under The Kroger Co.'s Big K private-label beverage sub-brand. Big K is Kroger's dedicated store-brand soda line, designed to provide value-priced alternatives to national brand carbonated beverages across multiple flavor categories. Dr. K is positioned as a direct analog to Dr Pepper, a proprietary blend of 23 flavors in the pepper-type soda segment.
The ingredient list contains carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural and artificial flavors, sodium benzoate as a preservative, and caffeine. High fructose corn syrup is the primary sweetener, a standard ingredient in conventionally priced carbonated soft drinks. Caramel color provides the characteristic brown hue of this category. Phosphoric acid adds tartness and affects beverage pH. Sodium benzoate is effective as a microbial preservative in acidic beverages. Caffeine is present, contributing a mild stimulant effect.
Per 100 milliliters, the product provides approximately 42 calories, 10.83 grams of carbohydrates, zero fat, zero protein, and zero fiber. Caloric density is low by weight but carbohydrate content from HFCS is notable per serving. No major allergens under the FASTER Act 2023 are present. The product is technically suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, though HFCS sourcing and caramel color (Class IV) processing may be considerations for some consumers. Not suitable for caffeine-sensitive individuals or those monitoring added sugar intake.
