About ORANGE DRINK MIX, ORANGE
Meijer Orange Drink Mix is a powdered beverage mix from the Meijer brand, the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based Midwest supercenter chain. This low-calorie mix is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame potassium — a dual artificial sweetener system common in sugar-free powdered drink products. The mix is artificially colored with Yellow 5 and Red 40, as well as Yellow 5 Lake, which is the oil-dispersible form used in powders. Citric acid provides tartness, calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate offer minor calcium contributions, and gum arabic and xanthan gum improve the dissolution and mouthfeel. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is added as a nutrient.
The caloric value appears high at 156 calories per 100 grams of powder, but the serving size is only 3.2 grams, making the actual contribution per prepared serving negligible — typically under 5 calories. Carbohydrates from maltodextrin account for most of the dry mix by energy value. This is a zero-sugar functional mix intended to be diluted in water.
Aspartame contains phenylalanine, which is a concern for individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) — this must be disclosed on the label. Acesulfame potassium is an artificial sweetener some consumers prefer to avoid. Yellow 5 (tartrazine) is associated with sensitivity reactions in some individuals. No wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, nuts, sesame, HFCS, TBHQ, BHA, or PHOs are listed. This drink mix is appropriate for those seeking low-calorie orange-flavored beverages, though the artificial colors and sweeteners are notable for label-conscious shoppers.
