Low sugar/sugar free ginger drink must have no added sugar

diystarter7

I was not sure where to post this question, so I hope it is good here


The drink I have recently had is artificial sweetener free and low sugar.

There are other similar drinks at Tesco & Morrisons two of our local shops but they all contain a lot of natural sugar, added sugar or artificial sweetener.

This is the one I drink -

I've been looking but  I can't seem to find any others, prefer cheaper if possible as better VFM.

Has about 20% of the sugar daily allowance.

They seem to all have fructose.

Thank you I did not realise so it was worth me posting.

Are there any similar drinks with less sugar per 100lm and no artificial sweeteners, please.

As far as I know, all No Added Sugar drinks have sweetener as a replacement. Personally, it doesn't bother me as I only drink a limited amount. Perhaps you could make up orange squash with fizzy water and add some grated ginger. 🤔 I'd try experimenting.

Just saw this drink and I'm confused as it states

https://groceries.morrisons.com/products/morrisons-no-added-sugar-still-lemon-lime-spring-water-112018011

Description

Sugar Free, Suitable for vegetarians, No artificial colours or flavours

BUT then it goes on in the ingredients.

Ingredients

Spring Water, Acid (Citric Acid), Sweeteners (Acesulfame K, Sucralose), Flavouring, Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Dimethyl Dicarbonate)

======



My understanding it that it does contain artificial 'flavours' and if I've read it right, is it a misdescription?

Flavouring could be natural - e.g. lemon oil, or juice

Those flavourings cold be natural extracts and not artificial.

Thank you, but I'm still confused, my fault.

What about a slice of ginger root in hot (or cold, or hot and leave to cool) water?

Just looked up 'Acesulfame K, Sucralose' it's artificial.

Which are the sweeteners. It doesn't say there aren't artificial sweeteners, just there aren't artificial colours or flavours.
