Blackurrant
Product Insights
Blackurrant is a carbonated blackcurrant soft drink from the Ribena brand, classified in the Beverages and Artificially Sweetened Beverages families. It carries a Nutri‑Score of C and is placed in NOVA group 4, offering low sugar (1.3 g), low fat (1 g) and very low salt (0.01 g per 100 g, well below average soft‑drink levels, but it contains artificial sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfame K) and a phenylalanine source, which may be unsuitable for phenylalanine‑restricted individuals. While the drink is low‑calorie and low in sugar, its ultra‑processed nature and additive palette make it a less optimal choice for clean‑eat or minimally processed preferences.
