Capri Sun (UK: /ˈkæpri/, US: /kəˈpriː/) is a brand of juice concentrate drink owned by Capri Sun Group Holding in Switzerland, which is a privately held company of Hans-Peter Wild. It was introduced in 1969[1][2] and named after the Italian island of Capri.[3] Capri Sun has been distributed in the United States since 1981.[4] Kraft Foods is a licensed production partner for North America. In the Netherlands, France, the UK, Belgium and Ireland, it is distributed by Coca-Cola Partners. As of 2015, five flavors are certified kosher by OK Kosher Certification.

Distribution

The standard box is filled with 10 pouches of liquid, and each pouch is 200 ml. In the U.S., Capri-Sun pouches are now six fluid ounces ; previously they were 8 fl. oz. (240 ml).[5] The pouch is trapezoidal in profile when filled and rectangular when flat, with a flared bottom that makes the pouch able to stand upright when placed on a horizontal surface. A straw is supplied with each individual pouch. Other sizes, such as the 330ml pouch with a re-sealable cap, are available in some countries.

In 2014, after continued pressure to fix what consumers described as worm-shaped food mold in Capri Sun pouches, Kraft released a clear bottomed pouch to allow consumers to better inspect the product before consumption.[6] Additionally, the difficult to recycle package type has spurred environmental groups to pressure Kraft into redesigning their iconic pouch.[7]
