What is in grape soda?
We read two U.S. brand labels in USDA FoodData Central. Both start with carbonated water and high fructose corn syrup, and both use citric acid, a benzoate preservative, flavor, Red 40 and Blue 1.
| Label (USDA ID) | Ingredients as listed |
|---|---|
| Dr. Pepper/Seven Up grape soda (545035) | Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, sodium benzoate (preservative), natural and artificial flavors, Red 40, Blue 1 |
| Faygo grape soda (2085868) | Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, tartaric acid, potassium benzoate (preservative), gum acacia, artificial flavor, glycerin, Red 40, Blue 1, sucralose, potassium sorbate (preservative) |
Why is grape soda purple?
On these labels the color comes from the added dyes Red 40 and Blue 1. We did not find any grape juice in either list.
How many calories and carbs does grape soda have?
Per 100 g, USDA lists 47 kcal and 12.86 g carbohydrate for the Dr. Pepper/Seven Up label, and 48 kcal and 11.83 g for Faygo. The generic USDA entry for grape soda (SR Legacy) has 43 kcal and 11.2 g carbohydrate per 100 g.
Do all grape sodas have the same ingredients?
No. The Faygo label adds sucralose, a second acid and gum acacia, and the other does not. Always check the label on your can or bottle, since recipes change.
