Yes. Sugarfree Amber Edition Strawberry Apricot is discontinued in the U.S.
Red Bull’s reported 2026 cuts included the sugarfree Strawberry Apricot variant. Red Bull continues to show the standard Amber Edition in its U.S. range, but that does not preserve the sugarfree SKU. This report tracks the exact formulation printed on the can.
Which Strawberry Apricot product was discontinued?
The affected can is Sugarfree Amber Edition Strawberry Apricot. Red Bull also markets a standard Amber Edition with the same named flavor, so broad searches can collapse two distinct products into one answer. The reported discontinuation applies to the sugarfree formulation.
Red Bull’s current U.S. Editions page still names Amber Edition Strawberry Apricot among regular products. Its current sugarfree lineup is different and no longer includes the Amber Edition. That is consistent with a formulation-specific cut rather than the disappearance of every Strawberry Apricot drink.
How strong is the 2026 evidence?
The public evidence is stronger than an ordinary shelf rumor because the sugarfree Amber Edition appears in a specific four-product discontinuation report. The other named products also disappeared from the current U.S. ranges, giving the report a visible catalog match.
Red Bull has not provided a public page that narrates every SKU decision or an exact final production date. The status is based on the named U.S. cut and current lineup, while the timing of the final can moving through distribution can vary by retailer.
How to identify the discontinued version
Look for both AMBER EDITION and SUGARFREE on the can. The sugarfree package uses a blue band near the top, a detail that can disappear in small marketplace thumbnails. The flavor words Strawberry and Apricot appear lower on the front panel.
A regular Amber Edition, an imported can, or a retailer page that merges multiple variations is not the same item. Ask sellers to show the front label and size when the listing title leaves out the formulation.
Why final cans can remain on shelves
A discontinuation usually reaches stores unevenly. A warehouse may still have cases while another region has already removed the shelf tag. Online availability can also be fulfilled from distant inventory rather than a current local distributor order.
Those leftovers are part of the normal wind-down. A credible relaunch would involve new production and sustained U.S. replenishment, not simply a few listings that never disappeared from search.
How to read this status
Discontinued in the U.S. means the flavor is no longer being marketed through normal U.S. distribution. It can still be current abroad, remain on an old brand page, or appear as sell-through inventory. Those leftovers do not change the U.S. status, but they do explain why a search may produce apparently conflicting answers.
We do not use worldwide availability to reverse a U.S. conclusion. International production is reported as context, and remaining American stock is described as old inventory unless evidence shows a true relaunch.
What buyers and collectors should check
Verify the exact flavor name, package design, can size, country labeling, condition, quantity, and the seller's photo before buying. A marketplace listing can combine an old image with newer inventory, and a foreign-market can may use similar colors for a different formula. The can shown here is one specific reference design, not a promise that every listing uses the same package.
For older full cans, treat the purchase as a collectible first. Storage history is rarely complete, and sealed cans can leak, swell, or change internally over time. A printed date and intact seal help identify an item, but they do not guarantee that an aged beverage remains suitable to drink.
