Ribena’s Vitamin C Fraud

In 2007, two high school students discovered that Ribena's claim-"the blackcurrants in Ribena have four times the vitamin C of oranges"-was false. Their research revealed that the drink contained almost no vitamin C, while one orange juice brand had over three times more. As a result, the company faced legal action and received a fine of NZ$217,500.
