Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high sugar content. A single 250ml serving contains 32.25g of added sugar, which constitutes 64.5% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance. It provides 'empty calories' with no protein, fiber, or essential micronutrients. The presence of multiple additives, including a preservative, further lowers its health rating.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Appy Fizz Virgin Mojito
In a tall glass, muddle a few fresh mint leaves with 2-3 lime wedges. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Pour 125ml (half a can) of Appy Fizz and top with plain soda water. Stir gently and garnish with a lime wheel.
Health Benefits
Dilutes the drink by 50%, significantly reducing the sugar content per serving while creating a refreshing beverage.
Sparkling Apple & Green Tea Fruit Punch
In a large pitcher, combine one 250ml can of Appy Fizz with 500ml of chilled, unsweetened green tea. Add a cup of mixed fruits like apple slices, orange segments, and pomegranate arils. Let it infuse in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving.
Health Benefits
Enhances the drink with antioxidants from green tea and fiber and vitamins from fresh fruits, creating a more balanced punch.
Additive Analysis
The additives used are generally permitted by FSSAI. However, the combination of preservative INS 211 (Sodium Benzoate) and antioxidant INS 300 (Ascorbic Acid) can potentially form trace amounts of benzene, a carcinogen. While regulated, this combination is a point of concern for frequent consumption. The overall additive load is high for a simple beverage.

Marketing Claims
The claims 'Apple Flavoured' and 'No Added Caffeine' are factually correct. However, the branding and name 'Appy' may imply a healthier, fruit-based product than it is. In reality, it is a sugar-sweetened beverage with apple flavoring, not a fruit juice. This positioning can be seen as questionable as it downplays the primary characteristic of the drink: its high sugar content.
