Soft drinks and flavoured drinks

Yenzo has checked 18 products in this group, from Sting, Fanta, Mirinda and 7 other brands; on a Vietnamese pack the group is called “nước ngọt, đồ uống có hương vị”. The ingredient list and the nutrition table of each product come from its own label — all 18 from the open database Open Food Facts — and every product is rated with the same open formula the Yenzo app uses. Product names are given as printed on the pack, in Vietnamese, with a short English description in brackets.

On the Yenzo scale, all 18 are rated “Moderate”. Across these 18 products, the thing that most often pulls the rating down is sugar (16 of 18 products), followed by ultra-processing (14) and additives at a moderate or high level (4). The ratings compare soft drinks and flavoured drinks with each other by the same rules — which rank higher within the group — not whether to drink them. Each product's page lists the reasons behind its level, figure by figure, with the threshold each figure is measured against.
