retailer Tesco announced that it would stop selling Capri-Sun, as part of an initiative to replace drinks that contain added sugars; The Guardian characterized the move as an unprecedented action against a branded sugary drink supplier like Coca-Cola Europacific Partners. In France, 213 million pouches were sold in 2016, a 24% increase from the previous year. Sales increased another 20% the next year, to 250 million.
