What is in cherry cola?
We checked several cherry cola labels in USDA FoodData Central (Branded Foods). Three store-brand entries (Associated Wholesale Grocers, Nash Finch Company, Supervalu) list the same core ingredients: carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, phosphoric acid, flavor and caffeine. The serving size on those entries is 12 fl oz (360 ml).
What differences are there between brands?
- The Associated Wholesale Grocers label says “natural and artificial flavor”; the Nash Finch labels say “natural flavors”.
- The Supervalu label also lists citric acid.
- The Olipop cherry cola is made differently. It lists carbonated water, a fiber blend, tart cherry juice concentrate, apple juice concentrate, lime juice, cassava root syrup, natural flavors, stevia leaf and green tea caffeine.
Does cherry cola contain real cherry?
In the three store-brand labels above, no cherry juice appears in the ingredient list; the cherry taste comes from flavor. Only the Olipop label we read lists tart cherry juice concentrate.
Does cherry cola have caffeine?
Every label we read lists caffeine as an ingredient. The entries we opened do not give the amount here, so check the nutrition label or the maker for the milligrams.
Ingredient lists are copied from the labels in the database and can change when a maker changes its recipe.
