Kong Strong Urban Classic Energy Drink

Kong Strong Urban Classic Energy Drink is an artificially sweetened energy beverage marketed by Lidl. It delivers 23 kcal per 100 ml, with 4.9 g sugars, 0.23 g salt, virtually no fat, and contains caffeine, taurine and added B‑vitamins, but its Nutri‑Score is E and it falls in the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 group. While the drink provides a low‑calorie energy boost, the presence of added sugars, artificial sweeteners (acesulfame K, aspartame), colourant and a phenylalanine source may be concerns for diabetics, phenylketonuria patients and those avoiding synthetic additives.
