About Libbys
Libby's is a historic American food and beverage brand with roots dating back to 1869, when Archibald McNeill and brothers Arthur and Charles Libby founded Libby, McNeill & Libby in Chicago. What began with canned corned beef has evolved into a beloved juice drinks brand familiar to UK shoppers for generations. Nestlé acquired Libby's in 1971, launching the brand into the juice market. In 1983, Libby's introduced Um Bongo to the UK market, becoming one of the most iconic children's drinks of the era. In 1986, the brand removed all artificial colourings, sweeteners and preservatives, replacing them with natural alternatives including lemon juice instead of citric acid. The Libby's trademark is now owned by Libby's Brand Holding based in Geneva, Switzerland, with the UK fruit juice licence held by Refresco. The brand continues to offer affordable, family-friendly juice drinks in formats including 2-litre bottles of tropical and summer fruits varieties. Libby's juice drinks are known for their accessible pricing and nostalgic appeal, particularly popular with families looking for fruity refreshments. The tropical range captures the flavours of exotic fruits in convenient everyday packaging. Compare Libby's juice drink prices across Lidl and other UK supermarkets on Grocefully.
