Request Edit Fruit Shoot

Hi,

Please can we update the Fruit Shoot information on the site as a lot of this information is out of date and incorrect?

Below is the correct information:

Robinsons Fruit Shoot is a refreshing drinks brand with a fruity flavour, designed especially for kids, made with real juice and no added sugar, artificial colours or flavours. Fruit Shoot is a leading global kids brand produced by Britvit PLC since 2000 in a re-sealable colourful sports cap bottle and offers a range of product options such as Fruit Shoot No Added Sugar, Fruit Shoot Hydro and Fruit Shoot My5, to fit current kids’ balanced diet and nutrition.

Fruit Shoot No Added Sugar is made using real fruit juice and water and it is a low calorie drink with added multivitamins and minerals to help keep kids refreshed. It offers a variety of tasty flavours such as: Apple and Blackcurrant, Orange, Summer Fruits, Peach and Mango, Tropical flavour, Apple.

Fruit Shoot Hydro is sugar free refreshing flavoured water made from spring water with no artificial colours or flavours. Hydro offers a variety of flavours such as Apple and Raspberry, Blackcurrant, Orange and Pineapple.

Fruit Shoot My-5 is a school approved fruit juice drink designed to give kids 1 of their 5 a day of fruit. My-5 is packed with real fruit juice and contains no artificial colours, no flavourings, no sweeteners and no preservatives.

Fruit Shoot has made it its mission to inspire and encourage kids’ adventurous side. As kids love outdoor adventure and challenges, the brand has teamed up with the world’s greatest obstacle event, Tough Mudder to create Fruit Shoot Mini Mudder, a 10 obstacles 1 mile course, making it the ultimate kids obstacle adventure.

Today Fruit Shoot can be found in supermarkets and retail shops in more than 25 countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.109.254.25 (talk) 15:27, 15 June 2016 (UTC) [reply]

Not done - Hello. Please note, that content added to Wikipedia must be verifiable by independent reliable sources and written in neutral non-promotional language (WP:NPOV, WP:PROMO). As you possibly have a "conflict of interest" in this topic, you should read and follow WP:COI first. If you would like to suggest sourced and neutral changes to the article, please add {{edit COI}} to future posts on this talkpage and provide sources to verify your suggestions (see also WP:REFB for a "how to" on sourcing).

Edit request

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Per WP:SPLITREQ.

Full disclosure: I work for Britvic Soft Drinks - the makers of Robinsons and Fruit Shoot.

Agree with the anonymous poster from 2016 that the Fruit Shoot information needs updating but this needs to be done in a neutral and transparent way.

To avoid any potential conflict of interest, please can you consider making the following change.

   Information to be added or removed: Please can the Fruit Shoot subsection be turned into its own separate page.
   Explanation of issue: Robinsons is an adult/ family brand that dates back to the 1700s and has a number of subcategories (Core, Fruit Creations, Fruit Cordial, Barley Water, Sqaush'd, Refresh'd). Fruit Shoot is kids brand launched in 2000 and has three subcategories (No Added Sugar, Hydro, Juiced). These are two distinct brands with different audiences and ranges - it would be clearer for Wikipedia users if they were separated.

Added sugar range discontinued and ingredients changed

Full disclosure: I work for Britvic Soft Drinks - the makers of Robinsons and Fruit Shoot.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Information to be added or removed: Please can we change "The regular Fruit Shoot range with the green top is a full sugar product and does not contain aspartame (the No Added Sugar version with the grey top does). Although the grey top range has no added sugar, it contains Potassium Sorbate (Preservative) and Sodium Citrate, plus natural colourings and malic acid." to "The Fruit Shoot No Added Sugar range contains Acesulfame K and Sucralose (Sweeteners), Potassium Sorbate and Dimethyl Dicarbonate (Preservatives), Sodium Citrate (Acidity Regulator), plus natural flavours, colours and added vitamins. The range does not contain aspartame." Explanation of issue: We stopped making added sugar Fruit Shoot range in 2014. Ingredients for our No Added Sugar range have changed. References supporting change: changes to the range - https://www.britvic.com/our-brands/brands-a-z/fruit-shoot current ingredients - https://fruitshoot.com/gb/our-products/fruit-shoot/

I'm not inclined to approve this, per WP:NOTRECIPE. I'll go ahead and remove the information, but I'd like to retain at least the historical dates for when this product was offered. If you could confirm what those were (from ? — 2014 apparently) it would be most appreciated. Regards, Spintendo 16:32, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fruit Shoot brand was launched in 2000. Fruit Shoot Hydro range was launched in 2006. Removed aspartame from Fruit Shoot in 2012. Stopped production of Fruit Shoot added sugar versions in 2014. Fruit Shoot My 5 ran from 2010-2018 and was replaced with Fruit Shoot Juiced (2018-present) ^[1] ^[2]

Fruit Shoot - change of ingredients

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Full disclosure: I work for Britvic Soft Drinks - the makers of Robinsons and Fruit Shoot.

Information to be added or removed: Please remove "The regular Fruit Shoot range with the green top is a full sugar product and does not contain aspartame (the No Added Sugar version with the grey top does)." - this is no longer correct. We stopped making added sugar Fruit Shoot in 2014 (listed on the timeline on https://www.britvic.com/sustainability/healthier-people/healthier-consumers/) and no added sugar Fruit Shoot now has a green top and does not contain aspartame (ingredients as listed on https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/272409429 and across other retailers).

Edit request implemented

As I stated in my edit request review three years ago, I don't feel that the ingredients should be in the article per WP:NOTRECIPE. But seeing as how those ingredients have stayed in the article since then with not much change, I'm inclined to leave them.
As the edit request did not contain proposed wording for these changes, I've worded it myself based on the COI editor's rough suggestions. Please advise if any of this is not acceptable.
