Launched into the UK market with a £4 million marketing budget in February 2008, SUSO is currently distributed to over 600 UK secondary schools and national supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose and Superdrug.[1]

It comes in a 250ml can size available in five flavours: Berry, Orange, Apple, Lemon and Tropical. The can is marked as supplying "One of your five-a-day", a reference to the UK government's program to encourage people to consume five portions of fruit and/or vegetables per day.[2][3][4][5]

In 2012, the brand was sold to Cott Beverages.[6]
