Britvic said the impact of its recall of Robinsons Fruit Shoot and Fruit Shoot Hydro packs last week would be greater than previously estimated.
It said that its full-year results would be at the lower end of market expectations.
Britvic said it was unable to speedily resolve the issue regarding faulty new design caps, which led to the recall, despite its ongoing investigations.
It said would use an alternative cap for the packs and start to resupply customers in six weeks. The recall did not affect its Irish products.
The soft drinks maker, whose own brands include Tango and J2O soft drinks, said today that the recall would cut between £15-25m sterling from profit before tax for the current and next financial years. It had said last week that it expected the recall to cut profit before tax by £1-5m for the current fiscal year.
Britvic, which also produces and sells PepsiCo's brands such as Pepsi and 7UP in Britain and Ireland, said it continued to be affected by poor weather and weak demand in the UK.
