Everyone at Syfo Beverages would like to wish you a safe and Happy Fourth of July. In these unsettling times, celebrating the holiday and spending time with family are more important than ever. However you plan to spend this holiday weekend — whether it’s a backyard barbecue or safely enjoying time outdoors — you can enjoy Syfo Original Seltzer and Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters as healthy and refreshing ways to cool off and make this a special Fourth.

As we celebrate the birth of our great nation, Syfo is proud to say that our product is manufactured and bottled right here in the United States, and has been since 1949. We’re an American small business and it is a privilege to be a part of this great American tradition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected our lives in ways large and small. Perhaps one of the factors that is just more of an inconvenience is the inconsistent availability of some of our favorite items in our local supermarket. 

Take as an example the case with eggs. Egg availability and price have reportedly been on somewhat of a rollercoaster since the outbreak began, with the demand for eggs and processed egg products surging more than 200 percent in the first half of March, when awareness of the pandemic was gaining steam. Things did level off in April with supply improving and prices for a dozen leveling off at around $1.50. Still, many outlets around the country are limiting purchases at two cartons per customer as the pandemic continues. 

So what to do when eggs might not be available for your next baking effort? Why turn to Syfo of course! According to this article on Fox News, Rebekah Strand, development chef for Conagra Brands, says sparkling water or seltzer is the perfect egg substitute for baking ingredients. 

“I use ¼ cup per egg,” says Strand. She noted that both seltzer and flavored sparkling water would work, although the latter may affect the final flavor. 

So now there’s another reason to keep Syfo stocked in your kitchen, besides its healthy, thirst-quenching properties. For a full selection of Syfo recipe ideas, visit our Recipe section. 

With the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), our first priority continues to be the health and safety of our team members, customers and the broader community. At this time we are open and operational and doing our best to keep our retail partners supplied.

Best wishes for your health and well being from all of us at Syfo Beverages.

Your favorite beverages, including sparkling water, have to be delivered in some kind of container. But it may surprise you that fully recyclable PET plastic bottles can be one of the most environmentally-friendly ways to package the refreshing sparkling drinks you love the most.

Syfo Beverages Original Seltzer and Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water bottles are produced on-site from fully recyclable, virgin PET which arrives at our Plant in a single bulk truckload shipment of 4-inch pre-forms. Because we blow our own 1- and 2-liter PET bottles on-site, we have eliminated the high carbon footprint of trucking large-sized empty bottles to our facility in multiple trips. When you factor in that communities with strong curbside recycling programs, recycle up to 70% of PET bottles, the benefits outweigh other types of containers (cans, glass, plant based plastic, boxed water). Each of these alternative containers can have major impacts on the environment based on factors such as high energy needs, high carbon footprint, high water needs, low recycling rates, and container degradation due to temperature. In addition there are potential health impacts from chemicals like BPA (Bisphenol A) or BPS (Bisphenol S) present in the linings of certain containers that can leach into the water. Be assured that our PET bottles contain none of these chemicals or other plasticizer chemicals like phthalates which are used to make some plastics softer.

When all of us support community recycling, we are all being good stewards and contributing to a better, cleaner environment. If you are looking for refreshment products that are healthy for you but are concerned about harming the environment, Syfo is an excellent choice. You can learn more about all of our products here.

You have probably heard a lot about this lately. Drinking more water continues to be a growing consumer trend with more people seeking to boost their hydration rates as part of a healthy lifestyle. 

Although there is no set recommendation as to how much water an individual should drink, health experts agree that water intake is a key to good health (the average adult U.S. citizen drinks an average of 39 ounces of water a day according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Water not only promotes overall health, it can help you manage or lose weight because it adds zero calories when compared to high-calorie, sweetened drinks like soda. Additionally, drinking water can prevent dehydration — a condition that can cause unclear thinking, mood changes, body overheating, constipation and kidney stones, based on CDC information.

It’s little wonder then that bottled water overtook soft drinks as the top beverage in the United States by volume in 2017, with sales increasing 7% over sales in 2016, as reported by the Beverage Marketing Corporation. And consumers today have so many delicious and refreshing ways to get the water they need, including Syfo Original Seltzer and our line of Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters. 

Our Original Seltzer and our flavored sparkling waters are a fun and easy way to get more water in your diet. All of our waters are ultra purified using reverse osmosis. Our four delicious, natural flavors include Lemon-Lime, Tangerine-Orange, Wild Cherry and Peach-Pear. And since all of our refreshing Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters are free of sugar, artificial sweeteners, sodium, preservatives or other additives, they’re also great for your overall health. 

So stay hydrated the fun way. Try our Naturally Flavored Sparkling Waters and Original Seltzer with some of your favorite drink recipes or visit our recipes section for some great sparkling water drink recipe ideas.
