a natural taste, always

water

The water used in our original fruit juice drink is constantly monitored and tested. Our quality team runs rigorous microbiological and chemical tests on the water before it is used.

Fruit Juice

Depending on the flavour, we use a finely balanced mix of fruit juices from real fruit. The fruit juice content of the Original Capri-Sun is usually around 10 – 12%. The naturally occurring vitamins in our fruit infuse our drinks with vitamins.

Sugar

The sugar used in our Original Capri Sun not only sweetens our fruit juice drink but it also enhances and deepens the natural fruit flavour and helps to preserve our drink naturally.
Capri-Sun has been on a sugar reduction journey since we first hit the shelves in 1969. All of our 200 ml pouches contain less than 4.4 grams of sugar per 100ml: that is less than an equivalent drink of pure fruit juice.

Stevia

In our Original Capri-Sun range we have further reduced the sugar content by using a sweetener from a natural source: Stevia (or steviol glycosides). This is extracted from the leaves of the stevia plant. It contains no calories and offers a sweetness that is as much as 300 times more powerful than sugars.

Natural Flavours

To enhance the natural fruit juice taste, we use only flavours that come from a natural source.

Ascorbic Acid

More commonly known as vitamin C, we use small amounts of ascorbic acid to act as an antioxidant and preservative.

How we make capri-sun

When Rudolf Wild launched Capri-Sun in 1969, he aimed for a natural, portable fruit juice. Since then, we've proudly kept our Original Capri-Sun free from preservatives, artificial flavours and colours, sticking to a simple ingredients list for that timeless taste.

Capri sun's sugar reduction journey

While sugar is a vital energy source, playing a significant role in nutrition, Capri-Sun has been on a sugar reduction journey for a long time now.

Our Original Capri-Sun contains 4.4g of sugar per 100ml – less than most fruit juices! By introducing the natural sugar substitute stevia, we have reduced Capri-Sun's sugar content by 50% without any artificial additives.

Whilst some product ranges use sugar substitutes as part of our sugar reduction journey, for others, all that refreshing taste comes only from the natural sweetness of the fruits themselves. Capri-Sun No Added Sugar and Fruity Water offer a tasty alternative to the Original Capri-Sun for those wanting to enjoy our drinks with no added sugar.

How does Capri-Sun pouches stay fresh without preservatives?

The secret to how our drinks stay fresh for so long without using preservatives lies in our pouch. Our Original fruit juice drink is poured into the pouch at a temperature of over 80°C, in a process similar to the pasteurising of milk. It is this – and the special protection offered by our pouch – that ensures we don’t need to add preservatives.
