Who might choose each type?

Shoppers comparing listed sugar

If you want a fizzy orange flavour but are comparing sugar, use the per-100 ml figures for the exact packs. Tesco Groceries lists 1.2 g for Orangina, against 4.4 g for its Sanpellegrino Orange and Fanta Orange examples.

Shoppers who care about juice and pulp

Texture and declared juice content are separate choices. Tesco Groceries lists 2% pulp and 12% combined orange and other citrus juices for Orangina; its Sanpellegrino Orange listing states 16% orange juice from concentrate.

Customers who need the exact item delivered

A different pack size, sweetener formulation or juice percentage may not meet the reason you chose a drink. Tesco says an item can become unavailable when an order is picked and that a substitute may be offered if you allow one.

What should you check before choosing?

Orangina: citrus pulp

Choose it when: You want a sparkling drink with declared citrus pulp and the lower listed sugar figure among these three Tesco Groceries examples.

Bear in mind: It contains sweeteners, and its 12% juice figure combines orange with other citrus juices.

Sanpellegrino Orange: stated orange juice

Choose it when: A stated 16% orange juice content matters, whether you plan to serve it chilled or use it as a mixer, as described by the retailer listings.

Bear in mind: Tesco Groceries lists 4.4 g sugars per 100 ml, and the ingredients include sugar and a sweetener.

Fanta Orange: conventional fizzy drink

Choose it when: You want a familiar orange soft-drink format and juice percentage is not your deciding factor.

Bear in mind: The Tesco Groceries listing declares 2.3% orange juice from concentrate, rather than pulp.

PriorityWhat to checkYour needs
Juice and pulp Read the exact drink description and ingredients. Tesco Groceries lists 16% orange juice from concentrate for Sanpellegrino Orange, 12% combined orange and other citrus juices plus 2% pulp for Orangina, and 2.3% orange juice for Fanta Orange; these percentages do not all measure orange juice alone. If I am choosing this instead of regular orange juice, I want to know how much juice it contains. Pulp also matters if I have a texture preference.
Sugar and sweeteners Compare sugars per 100 ml, then consider the amount you expect to drink. Tesco Groceries lists 1.2 g per 100 ml for Orangina and 4.4 g per 100 ml for its Sanpellegrino Orange and Fanta Orange examples; check the ingredients separately for sweeteners. I want to compare drinks on the same volume basis, without assuming that a juice-led name tells me the sugar figure or sweetener formulation.
Pack and delivery Confirm the pack size on the item you order and review substitution preferences. Tesco says a substitute may be offered if an item is unavailable when picked and substitutions are enabled. A different pack or formulation might not work for me, even if the replacement has the same orange flavour.

Common ordering mistakes

  • Assuming every sparkling orange drink is orange juice

    The Tesco Groceries examples differ substantially: Sanpellegrino Orange declares 16% orange juice, Orangina declares 12% combined citrus juices, and Fanta Orange declares 2.3% orange juice. None of those descriptions means 100% orange juice.

    Read the exact product description and ingredients, particularly if orange-juice percentage or pulp is why you are buying it.

  • Comparing sugar using different pack sizes

    A per-pack figure depends on how much the pack contains. Tesco Groceries lists 14.5 g sugars per 330 ml can for its Sanpellegrino Orange example, alongside 4.4 g per 100 ml.

    Start with sugars per 100 ml for a like-for-like comparison, then check the amount in the portion you expect to drink.

  • Allowing a substitute for a specific formulation

    Tesco says an item may be unavailable when an order is picked. If substitutions are enabled, the alternative offered may not have the juice content, sweeteners or pack size you intended to buy.

    Set your substitution preference accordingly. If Tesco offers a replacement that does not suit you, its guidance says you can give it back to the driver or Click+Collect colleague for a refund.

  • Treating different pack formats as interchangeable

    Tesco Groceries has listed Orangina both as a 420 ml bottle and as a 6 × 330 ml multipack. Those are different quantities and should not be treated as the same item.

    Check the exact format in your basket and again if an alternative is offered.

Questions about drinks and delivery

Is a sparkling orange drink the same as 100% orange juice?

No—not in the Tesco Groceries examples discussed here. Their declared contents range from 2.3% orange juice in Fanta Orange to 16% orange juice in Sanpellegrino Orange; Orangina lists 12% combined orange and other citrus juices. Read the description and ingredients of the exact drink you intend to order.

Which of these retailer-listed drinks has less sugar per 100 ml?

Of the three Tesco Groceries examples here, Orangina lists 1.2 g sugars per 100 ml, while Sanpellegrino Orange and Fanta Orange each list 4.4 g. Their juice contents, sweeteners and pack formats still differ, so compare the exact items in your basket.

What if a grocery substitute is not the drink I wanted?

Check your substitution preferences before ordering and inspect any replacement offered. Tesco says that when substitutions are allowed, an alternative may be offered if an item is unavailable; if you do not want it, you can give it back to the driver or Click+Collect colleague for a refund.
