Why is Badoit Zest citron vert classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

It is classified as NOVA 4 because the product is a carbonated water that includes added natural flavorings (lemon and lime), a processing step that places it in the ultra‑processed category; however, it lists no additives such as preservatives, colors, or sweeteners, so the only added ingredients are the natural citrus flavorings.

Is Badoit Zest citron vert suitable for a vegan or other restrictive diets such as keto or gluten‑free?

Yes, the beverage contains only mineral water and natural lemon‑lime flavorings, with no animal‑derived ingredients, added sugars, or gluten, making it compatible with vegan, keto, and gluten‑free diets.

Can the natural lemon and lime flavorings in Badoit Zest citron vert cause issues for people with citrus allergies?

The product’s flavorings are derived from lemon and lime, so individuals who are allergic to citrus should avoid it, as even natural citrus extracts can trigger allergic reactions.
