Probiotic soda brand Culture Pop Soda has announced the commercial rollout of a limited-edition autumn flavour, Sparkling Apple.
Available starting 8 September 2026, the seasonal SKU pairs the profile of crisp apples and sparkling cider with the brand's signature live probiotic base. The line extension enters commercial distribution across nationwide brick-and-mortar grocery multiples alongside direct-to-consumer and digital retail channels.
Clean Formulation and Flavour Architecture
Formulated with a blend of apple juices from concentrate, Sparkling Apple is engineered to provide apple flavour without heavy sweetness or synthetic substitutes.
In line with Culture Pop's brand formulation standards, the beverage contains:
🍎 Juice Concentrate Blend: Formulated with real apple juices from concentrate to deliver authentic fruit taste.
🦠 Live Probiotics: Enriched with live cultures to support digestive wellness.
🚫 Zero Artificial Sweeteners: Manufactured completely free from stevia, refined sugar, and high-intensity or artificial sweeteners.
"We wanted to make a fall flavour the Culture Pop way," said Tom First, Founder & CEO of Culture Pop Soda.
"Apple was one of the most beloved Nantucket Nectars flavours. It was simple, but delicious, and I feel the same way about Culture Pop Sparkling Apple. It's somewhere between a crisp apple and a sparkling cider: refreshing, not too sweet and full of apple flavour. I think fall officially starts the minute you open a Culture Pop Sparkling Apple."
Gold Can Packaging and Seasonal Campaign
The limited-time product is packaged in a distinctive gold can designed to improve on-shelf findability and stand-out in retail beverage aisles.
The rollout is supported by Culture Pop's "Refreshingly Crisp" promotional campaign, which highlights the brand's reduced-sweetness profile within seasonal flavour rotations.
Founded in 2020 by beverage industry executive Tom First, former co-founder of Nantucket Nectars, Culture Pop produces sodas formulated with simple ingredients and functional live probiotics.
