Fanta Fruit Twist

Mon, 10th Aug 2009
Manufactured and distributed by Coca-Cola.

In this great looking can of fizzy drink, I was expecting to find lots of fruit in Fanta Fruit Twist. However, upon examination of the ingredients I was disappointed to find just orange.

Amongst the thirteen ingredients we find the fateful trio of artificial colourings, Quinoline Yellow (E104), Carmiosine (E122) and Ponceau 4R (E124). The Food Standard Agency has requested that manufacturers cease using these additives by the end of 2009.

Research from Southampton University argued that six artificial colourings, including the three above, have no nutritional value whatsoever. Research found a measurable effect on the activity levels and attention span of children when they consumed a cocktail of these artificial colourings together with Sodium Benzoate, which is also present in Fanta Fruit Twist.

The Bottom Line: Fanta Fruit Twist is not particularly nutritious or well balanced.
The SNR indicates the relative nutritional value of this Product.
+100 = most nutritious.  -100 = least nutritious.
