TANG DRINK MIX — FAR FROM HOMEMADE™

RAPID REVIEW

April 2025

Tang Breakfast Drink was introduced in 1959 by General Foods Corporation.

Seen below, aside from Sugar, all of the ingredients in Tang Orange flavored Drink are ones we would never use at home to make Fruit Drinks including Artificial Color and two Artificial Colors. One 12oz. serving of Tang contains more Added Sugar than the American Heart Association recommends for a child for an entire day >> the AHA recommendation for children is no more than 25 grams per day and one serving of Tang contains 34g of Added Sugars.

Mondelez states their Tang formulations “provide nutritious value” and that as a company they “aim for maximum quality”.
