About MEIJER, DR. M, SODA
Meijer Dr. M Soda is the Meijer store brand's private-label alternative to Dr Pepper, offering the characteristic blended fruit-and-spice flavor profile of that category at a reduced price. The formulation uses carbonated water and high fructose corn syrup as its base, with caramel color for the deep amber appearance, phosphoric acid for tartness, and potassium benzoate as a preservative. Natural and artificial flavors deliver the complex taste profile, and lactic acid provides a mild secondary tartness. Caffeine is present, relevant for consumers managing caffeine intake.
At 42 calories per 240 ml serving with 11.67 g carbohydrates from HFCS, this soda is a moderate-sugar carbonated beverage. It contains no fat, protein, or fiber — standard for a sugar-sweetened soft drink. Caramel color (type not specified) is used, and while Class III and IV caramels have been associated with the formation of 4-MEI, the FDA considers current levels in beverages safe. Potassium benzoate, when combined with vitamin C, can potentially form benzene; no vitamin C is declared in this formulation.
Meijer Dr. M is designed for shoppers who enjoy the Dr Pepper flavor profile and want to save on their soft drink budget. It is a no-frills value-priced soda available at Meijer supercenters across the Midwest, with no nutritional advantage over comparable national-brand colas. Consumers limiting HFCS or artificial additives may prefer alternatives.
