Caffine - not the normal ? about if I can drink it.......

I have been indulging in caffine here and there, mainly for energy reasons (but not much because then I'm just in the bathroom more often). But obviously I don't over indulge. Anyway, I have been craving Green Apple Jones soda for about a week now and could not find it anywhere. Well, I found some and read the label before I guzzled down three or four of them and it doesn't say anything about caffine. So, should I assume that it is decaf or should I assume it has caffine since it is a "soda". It that something they are required by law to put on the label?

I mainly question because early on in my pregnancy I told my mom I was drinking Arizona Arnold Palmers and she said "don't those have caffine since they have tea in them?". I checked the label and it doesn't state that it has caffine, but my mom (a nurse and someone who reads labels of everything - she recently lost over 100lbs) said that I should assume that it does.

 What do you gals think? Should I assume there is caffine in my wonderful Jones Soda.

  • Some Jones does and some doesn't.  It appears that green apple is caffeine free.  Scroll to about the middle of the page and you'll find the green apple.  Enjoy!

  • Thanks! I looked on the website but I did not see that.

  • If it has caffeine, it's going to be listed in the ingredients so I'd just check there instead of looking for "caffeine-free" on the label. Also, on a side note, you can still consume small amounts of caffeine on a daily basis w/o harm (unless of course directed otherwise for health issue purposes by your doc). I believe it's 25mg a day, which is about a can of reg. soda. Of course don't take my word, but that's what I've read and have been told by docs (not people who think they're docs :-)

    If all else fails, you can Google it or contact them and ask! Enjoy your drink regardless!
