According to official ingredient lists from manufacturer A.G. Barr, Diet Irn Bru, now primarily sold as IRN-BRU Sugar Free, contains aspartame as one of its primary artificial sweeteners. The inclusion of this zero-calorie sugar alternative is part of a recipe overhaul that occurred in 2018 in response to the UK sugar tax.

Introduced in 2016 following the UK sugar tax announcement, IRN-BRU Xtra was designed to deliver extra flavour and a closer taste to the classic full-sugar version, setting it apart from the long-standing Diet (now Sugar Free) variant. This move by AG Barr responded to a shifting market and consumer demand for better-tasting, no-sugar options.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, most adults can safely consume up to 400mg of caffeine daily. When comparing Diet IRN-BRU and coffee, a common question arises: which drink packs the bigger caffeine punch? The answer is more nuanced than it seems, as various factors influence the caffeine levels in both beverages.
