Monster Beverage

Monster Beverage Corporation is a Corona, California-based energy-drink producer. The US lineup covers Monster Original (54g added sugar per 16oz), Zero Ultra and Zero Sugar variants (artificial sweeteners instead), and specialty flavor lines. Caffeine content sits around 160mg per can. NOVA is uniformly 4 across the portfolio. Sugar-loaded variants earn the lowest FoodScore bracket; sugar-free versions avoid the added-sugar penalty but retain NOVA 4.
