Household Ingredients Compared  ›  Sparkling and Flavoured Water (Singapore)

Sparkling and flavoured water: what's actually in it?

Four different products share this shelf. Sparkling mineral water is mineral water with carbon dioxide — nothing else. Flavoured sparkling water is carbonated water plus natural flavouring, usually with no sugar and no sweetener. Tonic water and soda water are mixers: tonic water almost always contains sugar (or sweeteners) and quinine; soda water is usually just carbonated water. And flavoured water (still or sparkling) can be anything from water plus flavouring to water plus sugar, sweeteners, vitamins and colouring. The front of the bottle rarely makes the distinction clear; the ingredient list does.

This page covers sparkling water, soda water, tonic water, and flavoured water (still and sparkling) sold in Singapore. Plain still mineral/drinking water is not panelled here — it belongs to a still-water page — and appears below only as a one-line contrast, so it is not duplicated. Soft drinks, juice drinks, isotonic drinks and vitamin waters sold as a separate category are out of scope, except where a product is shelved and sold as a flavoured/sparkling water (e.g. Vida, Yeo's Pink Dolphin) and is panelled here as such. This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick.

The headline, in 30 seconds

• The plain sparkling waters panelled here are one or two ingredients. San Pellegrino's FairPrice ingredient section says simply "Natural water"; Perrier Lemon adds only natural lemon flavour to sparkling natural mineral water.
• Maison Perrier Forever is carbonated water plus flavouring — nothing else listed. Raspberry & Rose, Lychee and Citrus & Cherry Blossom are all "Carbonated Water (99.9%)" plus natural flavour(s); Lime and Lemon are "Carbonated water (99.8%)" plus natural flavour(s). FairPrice adds "Zero Sugar, Zero Sweeteners" for these.
• Flavoured sparkling drinks are a different product. Vida Sparkling Kiwi and Vida C Sparkling Blackcurrant both start with carbonated water and sugar, then add vitamin C, acidity regulators, sweeteners (acesulfame-K 950 and sucralose 955) and colouring. Yeo's Pink Dolphin White Grape is carbonated water, sugar, flavourings, citric acid, trisodium citrate, sodium benzoate and vitamins B3/B6.
• Wild One Blood Orange is sweetened without sugar. Carbonated mineral water, erythritol, glycerine, monkfruit juice concentrate and blood orange juice concentrate — no sugar listed, but erythritol and monkfruit are sweeteners.
• Good Today and LaCroix sit in the middle. Good Today Sparkling Lemon is water, carbon dioxide and citric natural lemon flavor. LaCroix Coconut and Watermelon are "Carbonated Water, Naturally Essenced" — flavouring, no sugar listed.
• Tonic water is the gap on this page. Fever-Tree, Schweppes and Thomas Henry tonic and soda waters were inventoried at Cold Storage, but no verbatim SG ingredient list was retrieved for any of them in this pass — they stay seen-but-not-verified until a pack check. Do not assume a tonic water is sugar-free: most tonic waters list sugar, and "light"/"zero sugar" variants are separate rows.
• H-Two-O needs a warning, not a guess. The "H2oh!" lists found online are for a Swiss PepsiCo/7up product sold in Switzerland, not for the Singapore H-Two-O flavoured water. No verbatim SG H-Two-O list was retrieved, so it is seen-but-not-verified — the Swiss list is not quoted as the SG pack list.

At a glance

Panelled with verbatim lists: 15 products (14 from Singapore FairPrice ingredient sections, plus 1 flagged non-SG example — plain Perrier, from US retailer listings, not an SG shelf claim). Seen-but-not-verified: see the list below — it includes all tonic and soda waters inventoried, Evian Sparkling, VOSS, Spritzer, Ice Mountain, H-Two-O, San Pellegrino flavoured variants, and the other Maison Perrier / LaCroix / Good Today / Wild One / Vida flavours for which no list was retrieved.

Prices are deliberately not shown here: they change weekly and would go stale. This site compares ingredients only.

Sparkling mineral water — plain and flavoured

Flavoured sparkling water — no sugar listed

Sparkling flavoured drinks — sugar and sweeteners

Cold Storage — the sparkling / tonic / flavoured-water shelf (inventory, 5 Nov 2026)

Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page, so this section is an inventory, not panels. Nothing below is panelled from Cold Storage's site; the items that could be panelled from FairPrice are panelled above, and the rest stay seen-but-not-verified until pack photos close them.

• Perrier: Sparkling Water Citron Lemon, 500 ml (the Lemon row panelled above is from FairPrice, not Cold Storage).
• Tonic / soda water (mixers): Thomas Henry Dry Tonic Water 4 × 200 ml; Thomas Henry Botanical Tonic Water 4 × 200 ml; Fever-Tree Tonic Water Assorted 4 × 200 ml (also listed as Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water 4 × 200 ml, Fever-Tree Refreshingly Light 8 × 150 ml, and Fever-Tree Tonic/Soda Water Assorted 4 × 200 ml in promotions).
• Sparkling mineral water: Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water 750 ml (also 6 × 1.5 L in promotions); San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water 1 L.
• Flavoured / vitamin water: Glaceau Vitamin Water XXX–Triple Berry 500 ml, Power-C Dragonfruit 500 ml, Restore Fruit Punch 500 ml, Essential Orange 500 ml; Sagiko White Grape Vitamin Water Can 325 ml; Thehoneyman Sparkling Water Manuka Honey & Peach 300 ml and Manuka Honey & Lemon 300 ml.
• Still water, for contrast only (not panelled): Evian Natural Mineral Water 6 × 1.5 L, Fiji Natural Artesian Water 1.5 L, Dasani Drinking Water, Meadows Pure/Distilled/Oxygenated Drinking Water. Still water belongs to a still-water page; it is listed here only so it is not mistaken for a missing sparkling row.
• Not in scope here: Schweppes Sparkling Drinks 4 × 320 ml (promotions), Bundaberg Ginger Beer / Blood Orange / Sarsaparilla, Martinelli's Sparkling Cider, Heysong C&C Passion Fruit Sparkling Bottle — these are soft drinks / brewed drinks, not sparkling or flavoured water, and are noted only to avoid double-counting them on this page.

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

• Tonic water — all inventoried, none panelled: Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, Mediterranean Tonic Water, Refreshingly Light Tonic Water, Tonic/Soda Water Assorted (Cold Storage); Schweppes Tonic Water, Zero Sugar Tonic Water, Soda Water (Cold Storage promotions and general SG sale); Thomas Henry Dry Tonic Water and Botanical Tonic Water (Cold Storage). No verbatim SG ingredient list was retrieved for any tonic or soda water in this pass — quinine, sugar/sweetener and acidity-regulator entries all need a pack check. "Light"/"zero sugar" tonic variants are separate rows, not assumed to share the regular list.
• Evian Sparkling Carbonated Natural Mineral Water (750 ml glass, 330 ml, 4 × 330 ml cans) — listed at Cold Storage and on Shopee/Lazada SG, but no verbatim SG ingredient list retrieved. Do not assume it matches plain Perrier's two-ingredient list.
• VOSS Sparkling Water — sold in Singapore (including via import/specialty channels), no verbatim SG ingredient list retrieved.
• Spritzer Sparkling Water / Spritzer flavoured sparkling — Malaysian brand sold in Singapore, no verbatim SG ingredient list retrieved. (Spritzer still water is also out of scope here as still water.)
• Ice Mountain Sparkling Water — SG brand, no verbatim SG ingredient list retrieved for a sparkling variant in this pass. Ice Mountain still water is out of scope here.
• H-Two-O flavoured water (Singapore) — no verbatim SG ingredient list retrieved. Do not use the Swiss "H2oh!" list (PepsiCo/7up, Switzerland — water, carbonic acid, citric/malic acids, flavourings, sodium citrate, potassium sorbate, aspartame and acesulfame-K, per Open Food Facts Switzerland) as the SG H-Two-O list; that is a different market's product under a similar name.
• San Pellegrino flavoured sparkling waters (e.g. Aranciata / Limonata / other fruit flavours) — the plain sparkling mineral water is panelled above; no flavoured variant's SG list was retrieved.
• Perrier plain SG bottle and other Perrier flavours (Lime, Grapefruit, Strawberry, etc.) — only Lemon is panelled, from FairPrice; plain is panelled only as a flagged non-SG list above, and other flavours need their own SG lists.
• Maison Perrier other flavours / lines — e.g. Strawberry, Blackberry, Mango & Coconut (the last is a sparkling juice beverage with soluble corn fibre and juice concentrates, per a US listing — a different product type, not panelled here), Maison Perrier Ultimate (unflavoured, US listing: Water, Carbon Dioxide). No SG lists retrieved for these.
• LaCroix other flavours — only Coconut and Watermelon panelled; other flavours need their own SG lists (do not assume the same "Naturally Essenced" list without checking).
• Good Today other flavours, Wild One other flavours, Vida other flavours (Vida Sparkling other flavours; Vida C other flavours) — only the flavours panelled above have verified lists.
• Glaceau Vitamin Water (XXX–Triple Berry, Power-C Dragonfruit, Restore Fruit Punch, Essential Orange, all 500 ml, Cold Storage) — inventoried, no verbatim SG list retrieved. These are flavoured waters, but their sugar/vitamin entries need a pack check.
• Sagiko White Grape Vitamin Water Can 325 ml; Thehoneyman Sparkling Water Manuka Honey & Peach / Lemon 300 ml — inventoried at Cold Storage, no verbatim SG list retrieved.
• Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water 750 ml — inventoried at Cold Storage, no verbatim SG list retrieved.
• Giant, Sheng Siong, Don Don Donki, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, Little Farms, RedMart, Lazada and Shopee Singapore ranges — inventoried only through the FairPrice/Cold Storage listings and search results above in this pass; their full sparkling/flavoured-water shelves were not paginated in full, and no house-brand sparkling water list was retrieved. Parallel-imported sparkling waters at Donki / Meidi-Ya / Le Petit Depot / Mustafa (e.g. additional Perrier, San Pellegrino, Gerolsteiner, VOSS, Evian formats) remain the largest residual gap and need in-store pack checks.
• Open Food Facts Singapore entry, barcode 8888196176912 — SG-sold lemon drink, ingredients "Water, Sucrose, Lemon Juice, Sorbitol, Flavourings, Honey, Sodium Citrate, Citric Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Natural Colouring", nutrition 34 kcal / 8 g sugars per 100 ml (see research notes). Brand/product name was not identified in the retrieved entry, so it is not panelled as a named product until the brand is confirmed from the pack.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 ml. Sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars — the ingredient panels show which products add sugar and which do not. No official Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any of these sparkling/flavoured-water listings in this pass, so none is quoted here; no grade has been assigned.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.

Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as “added sugar”. Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted in the research notes. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sugar, sucrose, glucose syrup) versus naturally occurring sugars.

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked “not stated” were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours.

Observed numbers, no verdict: the only per-100 ml nutrition panel verified in this pass is the flagged non-SG Swiss H2oh! row above (0 kcal, 0 g sugars, 8 mg sodium per 100 ml). No per-100 ml nutrition panel was verified for any of the 14 Singapore-panelled products, so this section does not compare their sugars or sodium — the ingredient panels are the comparison for this pass.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 ml nutrition panel was verified in this pass for San Pellegrino Sparkling, Perrier Lemon, plain Perrier (SG bottle), any Maison Perrier Forever flavour, Good Today Sparkling Lemon, LaCroix Coconut, LaCroix Watermelon, Wild One Blood Orange, Vida Sparkling Kiwi, Vida C Blackcurrant, or Yeo's Pink Dolphin White Grape. Their ingredient panels are unchanged; their nutrition figures are not estimated here, and the Swiss H2oh! row above is not copied onto the Singapore H-Two-O product. The unidentified SG Open Food Facts lemon drink (barcode 8888196176912, 34 kcal, 8.6 g carbohydrate, 8 g sugars, salt 0.028 g per 100 ml) is also not tabled as a named product, for the brand reason given in seen-but-not-verified.

How to read a sparkling / flavoured water label — the jargon, in plain English

Sparkling / carbonated water

Water with carbon dioxide dissolved in it, which makes the bubbles. "Carbonated water" and "sparkling water" mean the same thing here.

Natural mineral water

Water from a named underground source, bottled at source, with its natural minerals. Sparkling mineral water is that water with carbon dioxide added (or naturally present).

Soda water / club soda

Carbonated water sold as a mixer. It is usually just water and carbon dioxide, but check the pack — some soda waters add sodium bicarbonate or other salts.

Tonic water

A mixer flavoured with quinine (bitter, from cinchona bark). Almost always sweetened — with sugar, or with sweeteners in "light"/"zero sugar" versions. It is not the same as soda water, even though both are clear and fizzy.

Naturally essenced / natural flavouring

Flavouring derived from natural sources (e.g. fruit oils/essences). It adds flavour, not sugar — but a product can still contain sugar or sweeteners alongside it, so read the whole list.

Erythritol / monkfruit

Sweeteners that are not sugar. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol; monkfruit (luo han guo) extract is a plant-derived sweetener. "No sugar" does not mean "unsweetened" if either is listed.

Acesulfame-K (950) / sucralose (955) / aspartame (951)

Non-nutritive (artificial) sweeteners, listed by name or INS number. Their presence is the marker that a "sugar" drink is also sweetener-sweetened, or that a "zero sugar" drink is sweetened another way.

"Zero sugar" vs "no sugar"

Both mean no sugar was added and the product contains (near-)zero sugar — they do not mean no sweetener. Check for erythritol, monkfruit, stevia, aspartame, acesulfame-K or sucralose.

Quinine

The bitter flavouring in tonic water. If a clear fizzy drink lists quinine, it is a tonic water, not a soda water.

What this page is not

• Not a health score, and not a "best" pick. Sparkling mineral water, flavoured sparkling water, tonic water and sweetened sparkling drinks are different products, and this page does not rank them.
• Not a taste test, and not a price comparison. Prices change weekly; ingredients change less often, but still change.
• Not complete. Tonic and soda waters, Evian Sparkling, VOSS, Spritzer, Ice Mountain, H-Two-O, Glaceau Vitamin Water and the Donki / Meidi-Ya / Le Petit Depot parallel-import shelf listed above are not yet panelled, for the verification reasons given, not hidden. No page claims 100% completeness.

Sources and method

Checked 5–6 November 2026 from: FairPrice ingredient sections (San Pellegrino Sparkling; Perrier Lemon; Maison Perrier Forever Raspberry & Rose, Lychee, Citrus & Cherry Blossom, Lime, Lemon; Good Today Sparkling Lemon; LaCroix Coconut and Watermelon; Wild One Blood Orange; Vida Sparkling Kiwi; Vida C Blackcurrant; Yeo's Pink Dolphin White Grape); US retailer listings for plain Perrier (flagged non-SG); Open Food Facts (San Pellegrino corroboration; Swiss H2oh! nutrition, flagged non-SG; SG barcode 8888196176912, brand unidentified); Cold Storage SG listings (inventory only — no ingredient sections published). Limit in this pass: a second round of web searches and FairPrice page re-opens hit a 429 rate limit on 5 November 2026, so Fever-Tree / Schweppes / Evian / VOSS / Spritzer / H-Two-O SG lists and the Giant, Sheng Siong, Donki, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, Little Farms, RedMart, Lazada and Shopee shelves were not fully paginated — those channels are listed as checked only to the extent in the research notes, and their products stay seen-but-not-verified. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Nutrition section added 5–6 November 2026: figures are standardised to per 100 g or per 100 ml where the source gives per-100 figures; per-serving-only figures are labelled as such and are not converted; sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars; salt = sodium × 2.5. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
