madmums.com — Are Robinsons AKA Britvic plc poisoning our children with the amount of Aspartame they use across their brands. Is poorly labelled ingredients and choice attractive words on packaging confusing parents, I think so.

  • nickimas, on 04/12/2008, -0/+0After all the problems I have experienced first hand with aspartame I certainly believe that Robinsons should be labelling their packaging more clearly. I truly believe that aspartame is a poison that very few people are aware of the problems it can create and it should be banned. Who knows how many children are being affected by this poison by unsuspecting parents all because of poor labelling and awareness.
  • rinn83, on 04/20/2008, -0/+0With all these products being cleverly aimed at children, I think Robinson's should feel thoroughly ashamed for adding aspartame to their products. I will not buy any Robinson's or brivic products now, Nor will any of my family and friends as I have made sure I have made them aware of the dangers of aspartame
  • zanynut, on 04/03/2008, -0/+0The whole have to have 5 a day, not more than x amount of salt etc is hard enough without companies putting Aspartame into drinks and not labeling things clearly! I'm all for clearer, more helpful parent friendly packaging.
  • Railop, on 04/03/2008, -0/+0For a drinks company that packages their products so directly at children and young people they should have a duty of care to their customers and not be adding Aspartame that has been shown time and time again to be detrimental to peoples health.
  • mum2joshua, on 04/03/2008, -0/+0I knew the Special R varieties contained aspartme so I avoided those and have always bought the full sugar variety. I was shocked to learn they now also contain aspartme. This should be better labelled to inform parents these drinks contain these sweeteners! I am very disappointed with Robinsons for their misleading packaging!
  • Mumof4, on 04/03/2008, -0/+0Products should be labeled more clearly too, parents concerned about their childrens diet should be better informed by these companies.
  • madzwalker, on 04/03/2008, -0/+0I agree - label products more clearly so us parents can do the best we can by our children!
  • mollyjessie, on 04/03/2008, -0/+0they want to be ashamed of themselves - no more robinsons for our household!!!
