Allergen Information
Nutritional Summary
The product scores very poorly due to its extremely high sugar content, with a single 250ml serving containing 17g of added sugar, which is 68% of the FSSAI's recommended daily intake. It also contains artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, and multiple preservatives. The high caffeine content further limits its suitability for general consumption. Despite being fortified with B-vitamins, the negative health impacts of its primary ingredients significantly outweigh the benefits.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Sting Energy Mint Cooler
1. In a tall glass, muddle a few fresh mint leaves with the juice of half a lime. 2. Fill the glass with ice cubes. 3. Pour 125ml (half a bottle) of Sting Energy drink over the ice. 4. Top up with sparkling water or club soda and stir gently. 5. Garnish with a lime wedge and a mint sprig.
Health Benefits
Dilutes the sugar and caffeine concentration per serving while adding a refreshing twist with mint and lime.
Sting Energy Fruit Popsicles
1. Pour the Sting Energy drink into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top. 2. For added flavor, drop a few small pieces of fruit like berries or kiwi into the molds. 3. Insert popsicle sticks and place the molds in the freezer. 4. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until solid. 5. To release, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds.
Health Benefits
Creates a portion-controlled frozen treat, encouraging slower consumption of the high-sugar beverage.
Additive Analysis
The product contains multiple additives. Allura Red AC (129) is a synthetic dye permitted by FSSAI but has been a subject of health debates. The combination of preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate) and artificial sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium) is generally considered safe within FSSAI limits, but regular consumption of such chemical cocktails is not recommended for long-term health.

Marketing Claims
The primary claim 'Energy' is technically derived from sugar and caffeine but can be misleading to consumers seeking healthy energy sources. It promotes a quick, unhealthy energy spike rather than sustained nutritional energy. Marketing a high-sugar, high-caffeine beverage with exciting branding and cashback offers, which may appeal to younger audiences, is ethically questionable.
