No detectable Vitamin C in Ribena

 Images Logos RibenaAn NZ court has found GlaxoSmithKline guilty of misleading advertising because there’s actually no detectable vitamin C in Ribena. But in Singapore, the AVA has certified that local Ribena Berries aren’t just cannibals, they’ve also been ‘certified rich in vitamin C‘.

    I think it’s the country.

    The laws in Singapore are stricter, and it’s considerably like the slimming pills case a few years back. Cause, it gets checked every few years, once the check is cleared, they cut down/change the ingredients used, etc.

    Funny thing. After hearing about the case, my mum went to get a bottle of Ribena. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Well it looks like some have different perspectives over “rich in vitamin C” certification. As a possible client I am not willing to accept misleading advertising, specially when it comes to health aspects… this is outrageous!
