Ingredients
Nutritional Summary
The product receives a very poor rating primarily due to its extremely high sugar content. A single 250ml serving contains 27.5g of sugar, which constitutes over 55% of the FSSAI's recommended daily allowance for added sugar. The presence of artificial colors, flavors, and high caffeine content further detracts from its nutritional profile, making it an unhealthy choice for regular consumption.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Tropical Sunrise Mocktail
In a glass with ice, combine 125ml (half a can) of Red Bull Yellow Edition with 100ml of chilled coconut water. Add a splash of fresh pineapple juice. Stir gently and garnish with a mint sprig before serving.
Health Benefits
This mocktail dilutes the drink, reducing sugar and caffeine intake per serving while adding natural electrolytes from coconut water.
Frozen Tropical Energy Popsicles
Blend 200ml of Red Bull Yellow Edition with 1 cup of frozen mango chunks and half a cup of frozen pineapple. Pour the slushy mixture into popsicle molds. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until solid.
Health Benefits
Creates a refreshing frozen treat that incorporates natural fruit fiber and vitamins, making it a better alternative to drinking it straight.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including acidity regulators, stabilizers, and artificial colors/flavors, are approved by FSSAI for use within specified limits. However, the combination of multiple additives and high sugar content makes this product unsuitable for frequent consumption.

Marketing Claims
The claim 'Vitalizes body and mind' is questionable. While the caffeine and sugar provide a temporary stimulant effect, the term 'vitalizes' implies a positive health benefit, which is misleading for a beverage with such high sugar content and artificial additives. The subsequent energy crash and long-term health risks are omitted.
