History[edit | edit source]

Fanta Citrus was first introduced in 1940 in Germany during World War II. Due to the wartime scarcity of ingredients, Coca-Cola's German subsidiary had to come up with a new beverage using available resources. The result was Fanta, a fruit-flavored soda made from apple pomace and whey. Fanta Citrus was one of the original flavors launched alongside Fanta Orange.

Over the years, Fanta Citrus has gained popularity worldwide and is now available in numerous countries. It has become a staple in the carbonated soft drink market, loved by many for its unique citrus taste.

The natural flavors used in Fanta Citrus are carefully selected to provide the distinct citrus taste that consumers enjoy.
