About this product
Lucozade Energy Blackcurrant 360 ml is a blackcurrant-flavoured sparkling glucose drink with sweeteners, sold in a 360 ml PET bottle in South Africa, where the maker lists Blackcurrant among five 360 ml flavours beside Original, Orange, Apple and Caribbean Fusion.[2] Its label lists glucose syrup at 9.4 %, 2 % reconstituted blackcurrant and carrot juice, aspartame and acesulfame K, and 0.012 % caffeine.[3] The LUCOZADE marks belong to Lucozade Ribena Suntory,[4] and Suntory Beverage & Food South Africa, which calls Lucozade its main brand in the South African market, lists the 360 ml Blackcurrant in its range.[5][6] Checkers and Shoprite sell it under this barcode,[1][7] and an importer describes it as made in South Africa.[8]
The maker's South African site says Lucozade was first sold in South Africa in 1970.[2] Its product page repeats the label's ingredient list and adds a per-100 ml table giving 12 mg of caffeine, but prints 0 g of total sugar where the label prints 4.5 g.[4][3]

- nutrition · unknown: The label photographs end at the total fat row: per-100 ml fat and every row below it (saturated fat, fibre, sodium, caffeine) are outside the frame.
- nutrition · disputed: Total sugar per 100 ml: 4.5 g on the photographed label, 0 g on the maker's page.
- markets · not_researched: Amazon.co.za: web searches for "Lucozade", "Lucozade Blackcurrant 360ml" and the barcode on amazon.co.za found only the Orange 360 ml six-pack (B0BDZQDFRM) and the Caribbean Fusion 360 ml 24-pack (B0BDZMWMJL), both currently unavailable and without a flavour selector; the store's own search answered with an empty challenge page on 2026-09-26.
- markets · unknown: Open Food Facts tags the record with Mauritius; no Mauritian retailer listing was matched, so MU is not in country_of_sale.
- relationships · unknown: The GS1 company prefix length is unknown: the first 30 Open Food Facts packs under 6009880 read on 2026-09-26 carry unrelated brands (BOS, Kauai, Wellvita, Oryx), so nothing is written to gs1_prefixes.
