So, what is carbonated mineral water?
Carbonated mineral water is water obtained from a natural underground spring that contains dissolved mineral salts and carbon dioxide gas. It is sourced directly from geological formations and naturally contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, and sulfate. While some mineral waters are naturally effervescent at the source, manufacturers frequently carbonate the liquid by dissolving pressurized carbon dioxide gas into it prior to packaging. This ingredient commonly appears in bottled sparkling waters, flavored seltzers, ready-to-drink spritzers, and carbonated fruit beverages.
carbonated mineral water is vegan because all of its constituents are entirely mineral or synthetic in origin. Both the base water and the dissolved salts are derived from natural rock and soil deposits. The carbon dioxide used to create the bubbles is sourced from underground gas pockets, atmospheric capture, or industrial chemical processes. No animal products or animal-derived processing aids are used during the extraction, filtration, or bottling of carbonated mineral water.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
