No. Jones Soda, the carbonated drink produced by Jones Soda Company, is not considered organic.
However, instead of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), Jones uses pure cane sugar for sweetening their beverages. Pure cane sugar is considered safer and healthier than HFCS. Therefore, although Jones Soda is not considered organic, it is a healthier choice over most other soft drinks (Coke, Pepsi, etc) which are sweetened by HFCS
If you're looking for an organic drink, Jones soda company actually do carry a line of organic products. Known as 'Jones Organic', these drinks are flavored tea drinks which are USDA certified organic products. You can probably find them in Whole Food Market or Panera.
I haven't read the list of ingredients for Jones Soda, but, taking the previous contributor's word, it does contain sugar. Sugar is organic. "Organic" means "containing carbon", and all sugar contains carbon, regardless of how it was produced. Therefore, Jones Soda is organic, because it too contains carbon. Note, however, that even if it was sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, it would still be organic, because HCFS also contains carbon. Oh, and this notion that pure cane sugar is "safer and healthier" than HFCS? That's a myth promoted by the US sugar farmers. Their lobbyists have Congress in their hip pockets, restricting imports of sugar and driving up the domestic price to several times the world average. So soft-drink companies started looking for cheaper ways to sweeten their products. HFCS was the cheapest alternative. But now that the soft-drink companies have found a way around these protectionists policies, the sugar industry is in trouble again. So they made up this myth about HFCS being unhealthy. One way or another, they are determined to protect their obscene profits.
