Weekly Posting 3 Rating Products

In an effort to help the consumer choose a product, I have came up with a rating system that involve five criteria. The product will be given a point for each :
  • Listing GMO or non GMO ingredients
  • Listing where the product came from or where ingredients came from
  • Listing all ingredients (NOT using 'proprietary' spices or just 'preservative' in the nutrition facts label.)
  • Use of Sugar and no artificial sweeteners
The final point will be given to a product that seems to NOT be a gimmick, uses very little catch words or phrases such a 'hollywood diet', 'perfect' and so forth.

Heres my ratings:

SoBe Life Water Blackberry Grape: 2.5

Vitamin Water Power C: 1.5

Propel Lemon: 2.5

In order to do these evaluations I visited the respective official websites to find the nutrition facts and list of ingredients. None showed where ingredients came from, the Vitamin water website did not include the nutrition facts and i also learned that propel and SoBe are both owned by pepsi.
