About GINGER ALE
Great Value Ginger Ale (2549962 variant) is a carbonated soft drink from Walmart's store brand soda line. The ingredient list is short: carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural flavor, potassium benzoate (preservative), and caramel color. No actual ginger extract appears in the formulation—the ginger flavor is delivered via natural flavor rather than real ginger.
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is the second ingredient and primary sweetener. HFCS differs from regular sugar in its fructose-to-glucose ratio and is linked in high-consumption contexts to metabolic concerns, though it is functionally similar to sucrose in moderate dietary amounts. At 39 calories per 360-mL serving (100mL = ~11 cal), this is a lower-calorie soda by volume, but the calorie unit used is per full can rather than per 100g which inflates the per-serving figure.
Potassium benzoate is the preservative; unlike sodium benzoate, it does not have the same documented reaction with vitamin C to form benzene, though it is structurally similar. Caramel color is standard in ginger ale for the characteristic pale gold appearance. No artificial dyes, no TBHQ, no BVO, no PHOs, and no Red 3 are present. A budget carbonated beverage with HFCS and no actual ginger as the primary consumer-relevant flags.
