2. Can I request promotional material from Schweppes?
Promotional material is provided to our retailers directly from our advertising agencies. We are not able to send promotional material directly to members of the public. We suggest you contact your local Schweppes retailers and request any of their left over promotional materials.
3. How can I purchase Schweppes products if I live out of Australia?
Schweppes Australia does not export products overseas. Many of our products are available online, through independent online stores shipping Australian products all over the world. You can find these stores via your favourite search engine
4. What is the difference between a “Best Before” date and a “Use By” date?
The Food Standards Code of Australia and New Zealand stipulates that foods or beverages with a shelf life of less than two years must have a ‘best before’ date. It may still be safe to consume those foods or beverage after the best before date but they may have lost quality and some nutritional value.
Those foods or beverages that should not be consumed after a certain date for health and safety reasons must have a ‘use by’ date.
5. Can I obtain free samples from Schweppes?
Trading laws prevent us from dealing directly with the public. We will not send samples through the mail as they are likely to be damaged and this affects the quality of our products.
6. How can I apply to work at Schweppes?
Employment information is available via the web link below: http://www.schweppes.com.au/careers
7. Why are some Schweppes beverages labelled unsuitable for children under the age of 15 or pregnant women?
We label our products in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.
The Food Standards Australia and New Zealand sets out requirements for labelling, which depends on the ingredients used and nutritional information.
Under the FSANZ code, some Schweppes products are categorised as "Formulated Supplementary Sports Foods" because they contain botanical extracts, such as ginseng extract. As a result, it is mandatory for us to display certain statements on the label, such as not suitable for children under 15 years of age or pregnant women, as they may contain additives that are unsuitable for consumption by those listed.
We recommend that you seek advice from your medical practitioner if you have further concerns prior to consuming any product that carries this warning.
