Capri-Sun products recalled due to sugar labelling issue
Batches of Capri-Sun Orange drinks are being recalled from Northern Ireland shops as they were incorrectly labelled as having no added sugar.
A number of 10-pouch multipacks of the popular children’s drink contain pouches have been incorrectly labelled as Capri-Sun Orange Zero.
The pouches contain regular Capri-Sun Orange with the normal sugar level for that product.
They do not contain the Capri-Sun Zero product which makes the drink a potential risk to consumers who need to manage their sugar intake.
The multipacks in question contain 10 x 200ml pouches and have the following batch numbers: L104, L105 or L106. All the products have a best before date of April 2027.
Capri Sun UK said the issue was caused by a “packaging error” and "may mislead consumers who need to manage their sugar intake, including individuals with diabetes”.
Capri Sun UK’s managing director Matthew Done said: “If you have purchased a 10pk Capri-Sun Orange with one of the above batch numbers and a best before date of April 2027, do not consume the product if you are a consumer who is dependent on sugar content (including those with type 2 diabetes).
"If you’ve bought an affected product, please return the product to the retailer where it was purchased for a full refund. No receipt is required.
"We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank consumers for their cooperation.”
