Schoolgirls find there’s almost no vitamin C in Ribena
This could finish up costing GlaxoSmithKline megabucks. Fancy being caught out by a couple of schoolgirls doing a class experiment.
The company is already facing charges in New Zealand (where the schoolgirls are from) which could result in multi-million dollar fines. I’m sure that prosecutions will be launched in quite a few of the 22 countries Ribena is sold in.
From the article:
Global drugs giant GlaxoSmithKline faces a court case on Tuesday for misleading advertising after two 14-year-olds found its popular blackcurrant drink Ribena contained almost no vitamin C.
High school students Anna Devathasan and Jenny Suo tested the children’s drink against advertising claims that “the blackcurrants in Ribena have four times the vitamin C of oranges” in 2004.
Instead, the two found the syrup-based drink contained almost no trace of vitamin C, and one commercial orange juice brand contained almost four times more than Ribena.
