Slice Soda, the beloved '80s brand that's back and better-for-you thanks to new Suja Life ownership, announced the launch of its new Root Beer flavor. Crafted with the rich, creamy flavor of the beloved soda fountain staple, Slice's better-for-you formula has a unique blend of prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics – the only brand in the healthy soda category to feature all three biotics. It contains 30 calories and 3g of sugar per can with 5g of fiber.

Root Beer marks the newest addition to Slice Soda's fizzy lineup that includes flavors such as Orange, Grape, Lemon Lime, Classic Cola, Cherry Cola, Watermelon, Ginger Ale, Grapefruit Spritz and Strawberry. Like all Slice flavors, Root Beer brings all the best parts of traditional soda, including high carbonation, without ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup. Slice is also non-GMO Project verified, gluten-free, vegan and kosher.

Available now, Root Beer Slice can be found at Kroger banner locations including Kroger, Ralphs, Dillons, Smith's, King Soopers, City Market, Fry's, QFC and Harris Teeter. Kroger banners are also expanding its Slice assortment by now offering Slice Grape and Slice Cherry Cola flavors.
