Ah, now we get in to the nuances of “labeling”. Here in the US, we’ve actually changed the definition of a calorie from the true definition. 1 US calorie is actually 1000 calories or 1 kilocalorie. If there is less than 1 calorie in a serving you can say “No Calories” or “calorie free” so essentially if a serving of food in the US has less than 1000 calories (1 kcal) you get to say it has no calories. These spiked sparkling waters contain less than 1000 real calories or 1 US calorie and that’s how they get away with it. If you travel to Europe, they list calories in kcals so they can’t say “calorie free” thay can just say “low calorie”.
