Citizen Soda: the Smart Choice for Foodservice

What Is Citizen Soda?

Citizen Soda is a line of sparkling soft drinks made from upcycled, imperfect fruit—fruit that would otherwise go to waste due to cosmetic blemishes or surplus supply. Developed by Citizen Collective, a multi-award-winning food rescue and upcycling organisation, these sodas are a delicious solution to food waste and a celebration of sustainability.

Flavours That Pop

Citizen Soda comes in a vibrant trio of flavours, each made from rescued New Zealand produce:

• Sparkling Cherry – Rich, punchy, and packed with flavour from rescued cherries. Each can saves up to 29 cherries from going to waste.
• Orangeade – Zesty and refreshing, made from weather-damaged oranges.
• Pink Lemonade – A light, citrusy blend of rescued cherries and lemons with a fruity twist.

These sodas are not only delicious—they’re low-impact, locally made, and visually striking, with graffiti-style packaging that adds flair to any fridge or bar.
