Shoppers are being warned not to drink a popular squash after a packaging error means it may contain sugar, despite being labelled otherwise.
Nichols Plc is recalling its Vimto Squash "No Added Sugar" because they have been filled with Vimto Original Squash that contains sugar. The Food Standards Agency said: "This makes the product a potential risk to consumers who need to manage their sugar intake".
For context, a 250ml serving of the no added sugar version, made up as per the instructions, contains 5 calories and 0.8g of sugar.

The FSA is urging customers who have bought the item and need to manage their sugar intake "please do not drink it". It advises: "Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. For more information contact Nichols Plc on 01925 222 222 or productenquiries@vimto.co.uk"
