What we say
With 11% sugar, POP TOPS Apple Blackcurrant drink is high in sugar. That's because sugar is the second biggest ingredient after water. Reconstituted apple and blackcurrant juices make up only 5% of this product, so most of the sugar isn't coming from fruit as it does in fruit juices.
One small 250ml bottle of POP TOPS Apple Blackcurrant drink provides more than 25% of the amount of sugar that's reasonable for an average 8-year-old to have in a day. With all that sugar, kids shouldn't be drinking this every day.
Plain water is the healthiest drink for kids because it quenches their thirst without all the extra sugar and kilojoules. And be wary of any product that calls itself a 'fruit drink' - they usually contain a lot more sugar than fruit juice.
Additives listed: Food acid (330), Preservatives (211, 223), Colours (122, 133).
