About GINGER ALE, CHERRY
Big K Cherry Ginger Ale is a carbonated soft drink sold under The Kroger Co.'s Big K value-tier soda brand, which positions itself as a lower-cost alternative to national ginger ale brands like Canada Dry or Schweppes. The cherry variant adds fruit flavor and color to the base ginger ale profile.
Carbonated water is the base, followed by high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) as the primary sweetener — a formulation common across the Big K lineup. Citric acid provides tartness. Natural flavors supply both the ginger and cherry character. Potassium benzoate and EDTA (calcium disodium EDTA) are preservative additives; EDTA chelates metal ions that can accelerate flavor degradation and is one of the more scrutinized food additives due to concerns about heavy metal chelation in the body, though it is approved by the FDA at current use levels. Potassium citrate functions as an acidity regulator. Cherry juice concentrate contributes authentic cherry flavor and works alongside caramel color and Red 40 for visual appearance.
A 354-milliliter serving provides approximately 140 calories, all from 35 grams of carbohydrates derived from HFCS. Protein, fat, and fiber are zero. The HFCS sweetener base and caramel color are standard for budget carbonated beverage lines.
No allergens from the major eight U.S. categories (wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish) or sesame are present. The product is vegan and gluten-free. Consumers monitoring HFCS or synthetic dye (Red 40) intake should note their presence.
