Cranberry & Raspberry Juice Drink - 1L - Sugar & Natural Sweetener Fruit Juice - No Artificial Colours, Flavours or Sweeteners

I should have read the blurb more carefully. This isn't fruit juice, but a "flavoured juice drink." Bad value for money and receptive labeling.

Cranberry juice was very bitter it was only after a couple of mouthfuls I realised it was out of date. An absolute disgrace especially how it was part of a care package I was preparing

Not very tasty, then realised I received an expired product

Arrived damaged and leaked all over the box, unable to get refund

Be careful when buying tins food

It's water that's Mildly flavoured, it's not juice.

A natural product destroyed by adding a sweetner which by nature shouldn’t be there. Naturally squeezed cranberries do not contain Stevia or their glycerides. They are naturally tart but also contain natural sugars. Yes you might need to add some sugar. However, the sweetener that they have used in this product isn’t natural. Stevia comes from a South America and is extremely sweet. However, there is a problem with stevia and it relates to those glycerides. To obtain to the sweet molecule from the leaf it has to be “extracted” or should I say made in a vat. If you know the chemical formula you can make synthetic glycerides. The problem is these glycerides are the same in structure to a plant that we have in our gardens called ragweed another American species. It is from the same family. I have an allergy to Stevia where my skin erupts and my lips tingle. It is only time I might need an EpiPen. The manufacturer of Stevia says it is safe for humans to consume and that there are no know allergies to it. I have flagged three products to the food regulator as a yellow card. One of the companies changed the formulation to another sweetner Sucralose which is another one of those sweetners that claims to be made from sugar. It isn’t it’s another one of this sweetners made with an isolated molecule that makes sugar sweet. Another was a company who had outsourced the production to another company using the ingredients supplied so no contamination could occur. I phoned them after a serious flare of stevia and advised them that there might be unknown stevia in the product. They checked and said no. But then came back to me to say that the company they had outsourced had cleaned down the decks when they started to make the next batch of biscuits and these were contaminated with stevia from the previous production batch. The company assured me that they had told the manufacturer to clear down the decks or they loose the contract. The other was a chocolate brazil that as soon as it hit my lips hey started to tingle and I also started to get a rash. Hidden in the ingredients was Stevia Glycerides! If it isn’t flagged then the manufacturer of these foods don’t know. I can’t recommend what was once a natural product now adulterated with an artificial sweetener. The thing is that ocean spray doesn’t need to kow tow to U.K. regulations use ing sweetners instead of natural sugars. They could have sweetened this product with something completely natural such as apple juice or grape juice. If you have an allergy to Stevia avoid this product.

Picked this up as a change from regular cranberry juice, and the raspberry definitely makes it smoother and easier to drink. You still get that slight cranberry sharpness, but it’s balanced out with a sweeter berry flavour. Best served really cold in my opinion — much more refreshing straight from the fridge. I’ve also used it mixed with sparkling water and it works surprisingly well that way too. I like that it doesn’t taste overly artificial, and it’s good to see there are no artificial colours or sweeteners added. It is still fairly sweet overall, so probably more of a treat drink than something I’d have every day. Overall, a tasty juice blend if you enjoy fruity drinks with a bit of tartness.
