Ribena Facts

What has changed about Ribena?

In the past few weeks you may have noticed some exciting changes to the Ribena family. Over the past year, we have been very busy making improvements to the Ribena range ensuring its refreshing blackcurrant taste will continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.

Will Ribena 'ready to drinks' taste different?

Changes in the formulation of the Ribena 'ready to drink' products were necessary to increase the level of Vitamin C. However, we have worked hard to remain true to the great Ribena taste.

Have the Vitamin C levels changed in the syrups as well?

The Ribena syrup range of products have always been and still are a rich source of Vitamin C.

What do you mean by a 'rich source'?

Ribena claims to be a 'rich source of Vitamin C' because all Ribena products contain at least 38% of the (average adult) recommended dietary intake of Vitamin C. For specific information on Vitamin C provided per product, check out the product specific nutritional panel on each product or click here to visit our Products and Nutrition information section.

When will the new packaging be available?

Ribena's new packaging will begin to roll out across Australia from January 2008.

Where do the blackcurrants in Ribena come from?

All Ribena blackcurrants are 100% grown on New Zealand farms, mainly around Nelson. In fact, the area used to grow these blackcurrants covers an area equal to about 595 rugby fields! Once they're harvested each year, they're rushed into cool stores until they're lovingly pulped and processed into about 740,000 litres of concentrate.
