MEDIA RELEASE: Public health campaign ignores low-sugar options Slurpee® Zilched contains less than 1% sugar 1 in every 5 Slurpees sold is a Slurpee Zilched

A campaign launched today by Live Lighter informing the public of the sugar content of frozen drinks bewilderingly excludes popular low-sugar options widely available.

7-Eleven’s Slurpee Zilched is Australia’s only low-sugar frozen carbonated beverage. With less than 1% sugar, a large cup of Slurpee Zilched contains less than half a teaspoon of sugar.

“Slurpee Zilched is proving to be extremely popular with consumers of all ages, and growing strongly,” said 7-Eleven’s Head of Marketing, Julie Laycock.

“One in every five Slurpees sold is a Slurpee Zilched containing less than 1% sugar.”

Slurpee Zilched is available on at least one tap in every 7-Eleven store, with a range of nearly twenty delicious flavours rotated throughout the year such as Watermelon Punch, Lychee, Wildberry, and Lemon, Lime & Bitters.

“In response to growing consumer demand, in around 130 of our larger stores, we have converted a second regular Slurpee tap to Slurpee Zilched, offering two Slurpee Zilched flavours and giving consumers even greater choice,” said Ms Laycock.

“7-Eleven is proud of our industry-leading Slurpee Zilched flavour range. We will continue innovating across our quality food and drink products to offer consumers a range of better-for-you choices,” said Ms Laycock.
