How are food products rated on Yuka?
Yuka evaluates products based on three criteria: nutritional quality (60%), presence of additives (30%), and organic dimension (10%). Processed products high in sugars, fats, or additives are poorly rated. Buddy, with its organic ingredients, low sugar, and zero artificial additives, shows a positive score.
Why does Buddy contain sugar, and not zero sugar?
Because we refuse to use artificial sweeteners (like aspartame or sucralose), often found in "zero" drinks. Buddy contains organic cane sugar, in small amounts, to maintain the balance between taste and naturalness.
What is a sweetener?
A sweetener is a substance that replaces sugar without adding calories. The problem is: they are often synthetic (e.g.: aspartame), poorly tolerated, and disrupt metabolism. Buddy completely excludes them.
Is Buddy organic?
Yes! All our ingredients are certified organic: this guarantees agriculture without pesticides, without GMOs, and more respectful of soils and the planet.
What are the benefits of an organic diet?
Organic foods are grown without pesticides or harmful chemicals, which reduces exposure to controversial substances and better respects the environment. They are often richer in nutrients, antioxidants, and flavor! More info here: Yuka - Organic food & health
What is citric acid used for?
It is used to regulate the pH and to naturally stabilize the drink, without chemical preservatives. At Buddy, we only use organic citric acid, obtained through natural fermentation and without GMOs.

The pH measures the acidity of a liquid. A slightly acidic drink (pH around 3–4) is more stable, microbiologically safer, and better preserves its natural properties without additives.
