About LITE SPARKLING, PINK LEMONADE

Kroger Lite Sparkling Pink Lemonade is a carbonated soft drink from the Kroger brand that shares a nearly identical formulation with the Kroger Lite Sparkling Lemonade. Like that product, it uses high-fructose corn syrup alongside aspartame and acesulfame potassium — a combination of caloric and non-caloric sweeteners. Aspartame contains phenylalanine, which is relevant for individuals with PKU.

The pink color is achieved with Red 40 artificial dye rather than natural colorants like beet or pomegranate. Additional formulation components include potassium benzoate, potassium sorbate, modified corn starch, glycerol ester of wood rosin, and sucrose acetate isobutyrate — standard emulsion stabilizers and preservatives for the lemonade beverage category. Calcium disodium EDTA is a preservative chelator.

At 7 calories per 354 ml with 1.98 grams of carbohydrates, this is extremely low in calories. There is no protein, fat, or fiber. No common food allergens are listed. However, this product is notably high in synthetic additives: HFCS, two artificial sweeteners, an artificial dye (Red 40), multiple preservatives, and several beverage emulsifiers. This is categorized under Powdered Drinks in the database, though the liquid formulation suggests it may be a ready-to-drink product. Clean-label or additive-sensitive consumers should consider alternatives.
