acid test orange and carrot juice

Who: Asda

What: Chosen by You Orange & Carrot juice

Where: Ambient fruit juices

When: Launched October 2014

How much: £1.10/one-litre

Why: Fruit and vegetable blends are a growing part of the juice drinks fixture and are becoming more mainstream. supermarkets increasingly offer a range of branded lines, and number two juices and smoothies brand Innocent rolled out cold-pressed fruit and veg juices to Starbucks last autumn. Own-label ranges are also embracing the trend, with Asda launching this orange and ­carrot juice into its mid-tier Chosen By You range last October.

Consumer verdict: This blend of orange and carrot juice tapped the growing fruit and vegetable juice category but failed to inspire our respondents ahead of trial. After sampling, testers complained of ‘unbalanced’ flavours - with the carrot juice dominating. As a result, the already low pre-trial purchase intent of 19% fell to 13%. And though two-thirds of testers felt the juice offered something new to the category, disappointment in the product affected sales potential, and more than half claimed they would never buy it. Among those who could be tempted to purchase, most felt they would do so only occasionally.

Pre-trial purchase: 19%

Post-trial purchase: 13%

Better than what’s out there: 19%

New and different: 66%

Overall score: 26/50
