Pirkka First Choice Citrus sugar free

Pirkka First Choice Citrus is a private-label sugar-free soft drink marketed under the Pirkka brand, which is a staple in the Finnish retail landscape. The brand emphasizes affordability while maintaining a flavor profile reminiscent of classic lemon-lime sodas from the late 90s, as indicated by the 'Great Taste of 1996' tagline on the packaging.

The product is manufactured in Finland, specifically through partnerships with major Finnish beverage producers to supply the national retail chain. This localized production ensures efficiency and caters specifically to the Finnish consumer market.

Pirkka is the primary private label owned by Kesko Corporation, a leading Finnish retail conglomerate. Founded in 1940, Kesko operates across the grocery trade, building and technical trade, and car trade. As the ultimate owner, Kesko manages the brand's quality control and distribution through its extensive network of K-market stores throughout Finland.
