Capri-Sun recalled in Ireland over incorrect sugar label

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has announced a recall for three batches of Capri-Sun Orange multipacks due to an incorrect sugar content label. The error could potentially mislead consumers who monitor their sugar intake, including individuals with diabetes.

According to the FSAI, some Capri-Sun Orange Zero multipacks were found to actually contain drinks with normal sugar levels. This packaging error occurred when pouches of the regular sugar-containing drink were incorrectly labeled as the zero-sugar product. The authority stated that recall notices would be displayed at points of sale to inform consumers.

The error, it said, may mislead consumers who need to monitor their sugar intake, including those with diabetes.

The affected batches are identifiable by their best-before date of April 2027. The specific batch codes are 26104CS03, 26105CS03, and 26106CS03. The recall specifically targets the 10 x 200 ml multipacks of orange drinks, which were manufactured in the UK.

This was due to a "packaging error" in which some Capri-Sun Orange multipacks contain pouches incorrectly labelled as the zero sugar product.
