Irn-Bru Original Can

Breakdown

4 ingredients to avoid

Irn-Bru Original Can scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Irn-Bru Original Can lists 10 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, Sugar, Citric Acid, Ammonium Ferric Citrate and Quinine. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Irn-Bru Original Can scores worse than most soda & soft drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in soda & soft drinks is Vichy Catalan Agua con Gas at 100/100.
