Robinsons Fruit Shoot Squash has been announced by Britvic as the brand's first foray into the squash category to provide consumers with a flavorful option that's bursting with fruit-forward taste.
The product comes in two options including Berry Galaxy and Tropical Jungle, which are both positioned as double strength to maximize the flavor when prepared. The Berry Galaxy boasts strawberry and blueberry flavors in the mix, while Tropical Jungle puts orange and mango in the spotlight. The squash products will make their debut at Ocado before getting a wider launch slated for 2025.
