Product Insights
Ribena is a fruit‑juice‑concentrate beverage that contains water, blackcurrant juice concentrate (22 %), sugar and a blend of thickeners, acidity regulators, vitamins, color extracts and several food additives. It is low in fat and saturated fat and provides a modest amount of vitamin C, while its salt level is low but its added‑sugar content is relatively high (about 14 g per 100 g) and the product falls into the ultra‑processed NOVA 4 category. These characteristics give it a neutral nutritional profile without a Nutri‑Score label, meaning consumers should weigh the vitamin boost against the high sugar and additive load.
