Trip vs Goodrays CBD Drink: The Price of a Milligram
Trip's 15mg can against Goodrays' 10mg can, priced per milligram of CBD from pages read on 11 September 2026, and the FSA public list check both need.
By Gemma Hartley
On the figures this desk read on 11 September 2026, Trip is the cheaper milligram of CBD. Its 15mg can at a retailer’s £2.29 works out near 15p per milligram; Goodrays’ own site sells 10mg cans at £21.50 for twelve, about 18p. Neither brand’s FSA public list entry was retrieved, so check the list before you check the price.
Search for Trip vs Goodrays CBD drink and what comes back is a forum thread, a rival brand’s blog and a stockist’s listicle. None of them divides the price of a can by the milligrams inside it, and none of them names the register. This desk does both, in that order, because the register is the thing that decides whether the can should be on the shelf at all.
Trip vs Goodrays CBD drink: what each can states
A note on where the numbers come from, because with this pair it matters. Trip’s figures are a retailer’s. Trip’s own site, drinktrip.com, did not respond to this desk’s reader on 11 September, on the range page or the products feed, so every Trip figure here is what one stockist, Hemptations CBD in Northern Ireland, lists on its best-CBD-drinks page that, per the retailer’s own stamp, was last updated on 22 June 2026. Goodrays’ figures are the company’s own, from a product page and a products feed both read on 11 September.
Why the Goodrays milligram figure disagrees with itself
The retailer’s page lists Goodrays at 30mg per can. Goodrays’ own product page for the Passionfruit and Pomelo can, read on 11 September, says the opposite in plain words: the FSA recommends an intake of no more than 10mg of CBD a day, and one can contains 10mg. The ingredients panel on the same page states CBD isolate at 0.02 per cent; we quote it without converting it, since the page does not say what that percentage is of.
Where a company’s page and a stockist’s listing disagree about the company’s own product, this desk uses the company’s figure and flags the disagreement. We do not know why the retailer lists 30mg. It may be old stock, an old formulation or an error; we did not ask, and we are not guessing. What we can say is that the arithmetic changes threefold depending on which figure you believe, and only one of them is published by the people who fill the cans.
This site’s own Goodrays review of 23 August read 10mg per can on the same site, so the company’s figure has at least held for three weeks. If you are buying Goodrays from a stockist that lists 30mg, ask the stockist which can it is.
The price per milligram of CBD, in one table
The arithmetic is can price divided by stated milligrams. Prices are those listed on the pages read on 11 September 2026; the retailer’s prices are one stockist’s, not recommended retail prices, and Goodrays’ are the one-time prices on its site, not the subscription rate.
| Can | Stated CBD | Price | Per can | Pence per mg |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trip, single can (retailer) | 15mg | £2.29 | £2.29 | about 15.3p |
| Trip, six-pack (retailer) | 15mg | £12.00 | £2.00 | about 13.3p |
| Goodrays, twelve single-flavour (goodrays.com) | 10mg | £21.50 | £1.79 | about 17.9p |
| Goodrays, twelve mixed (goodrays.com) | 10mg | £24.99 | £2.08 | about 20.8p |
| Goodrays, twenty-four (goodrays.com) | 10mg | £48.99 | £2.04 | about 20.4p |
| Goodrays, single can at retailer’s stated 30mg | 30mg | £2.95 | £2.95 | about 9.8p |
| Goodrays, same can at the company’s stated 10mg | 10mg | £2.95 | £2.95 | about 29.5p |
| Little Rick, single can (retailer, reference) | 32mg | £3.00 | £3.00 | about 9.4p |
| Little Rick, twelve (retailer, reference) | 32mg | £31.00 | £2.58 | about 8.1p |
Read across the rows and the answer to the head-to-head is not close. Trip’s six-pack, at about 13p per milligram, is the cheapest way to buy CBD from either brand on any page we read. Goodrays’ cheapest route, twelve single-flavour cans direct from the company, is about 18p; the mixed pack and the larger cases are over 20p. The only way Goodrays wins the per-milligram comparison is if the retailer’s 30mg is right and the company’s 10mg is wrong, and this desk is not going to price a product on a figure its maker does not publish.
The reference row is there for scale. Little Rick’s 32mg can, on the same retailer page, is about 9p a milligram single and 8p by the dozen, cheaper than either brand in this contest. CHILL°D at 20mg and £2.50 works out near 12.5p; INTUNE, a 10mg can at £2.29, is about 23p. Within the cans on that one shelf, the pattern holds that the milligram gets cheaper as the can gets stronger, which is why a drink shopper who cares about CBD content should read the milligrams before the price.
One caution on the Goodrays curve. On the company’s own site the twenty-four-can case costs more per can than twelve of a single flavour: £2.04 against £1.79. Buying more does not buy cheaper here, and nothing on the collection page says so. Check the per-can figure on each case size rather than assuming the big box is the bargain.
Is Trip CBD on the FSA list? How to check either can
The Food Standards Agency keeps a public register of CBD products linked to novel-food applications. This desk read its front page on 11 September 2026; it carried a last-updated date of 13 April 2026. The page sets out the criteria in three lines: the product was on the market on 13 February 2020, the FSA received an authorisation application for it before 31 March 2021, and the agency has validated the application or agreed it is progressing towards validation.
The practical consequence is on the same page. The FSA has recommended to local authorities that products on the list marked Validated or Awaiting evidence may stay on the market in England and Wales pending further consideration, and that products which do not appear on the list, or are marked Removed, must be withdrawn. The list applies to England and Wales only; the page points Northern Ireland to separate FSA guidance and Scotland to Food Standards Scotland. And the disclaimer is worth reading twice: the FSA is not endorsing the sale of any CBD food product, on the list or off it.
Two things follow for a drink buyer. First, being on the list is not authorisation. A listed product is one whose application is in the queue, and the first authorisations were still ahead as of this writing; what an authorisation would put on a label is covered separately on this site. Second, and this is the part this desk has to be plain about: we did not retrieve a per-product entry for Trip or for Goodrays. The search route we tried on the register returned a not-found page, and we are not going to report a status we did not see. Neither is anyone else entitled to; the rival brand’s blog that ranks for this query calls all four brands it names FSA-registered without pointing to a single entry.
So do the check yourself. Open the register, search by product name and by the applicant’s company name, and look at the status column. If the can you are holding is not there, or is marked Removed, the FSA’s recommendation to your local authority is that it should not be on the shelf. That is a better use of a minute than the price comparison, which is why it comes first.
The register’s dating is its own story, one this site reported on 31 August: guidance updated, list dated April. Nothing we saw on 11 September had changed the date.
What each brand publishes about testing
Goodrays’ product page carries the line this desk read on it on 23 August and again on 11 September: third party tested and expertly dosed, and, further down, that its isolate is triple-tested to ensure non-detectable THC. The retailer’s listing adds that the isolate is sourced from Mile High Labs, which is the retailer’s statement, not the company’s. What the product page read on 11 September did not carry, in the text this desk read, was a certificate of analysis, a batch number or a link to a lab report. That matches what this desk found across the homepage, drinks, gummies, oils and FAQ pages on 23 August. A testing claim is a statement of intent. A certificate is evidence, and it is the only thing that lets a buyer confirm the 10mg is 10mg and that controlled cannabinoids sit under the ceiling the 1mg rule sets per container.
On Trip, this desk can say nothing. Its site did not respond to our reader, and a retailer’s listing is not the place to learn whether a brand publishes lab reports. We are not going to infer an absence from a page we could not open. If you can open drinktrip.com, look for a lab reports page and a batch number on the can; if you find both, Trip is doing something Goodrays’ pages do not.
Intake advice, in cans
The FSA’s published acceptable daily intake figure for healthy adults is 10mg of CBD a day, and Goodrays quotes it on its own product page, adding that one can contains exactly that and that the drink is not suitable for children, in pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for anyone taking medication. A Trip can, at the retailer’s stated 15mg, is half as much again as that daily figure in one 330ml serving. A Little Rick can is more than three times it. We offer no dosing advice, but the arithmetic is worth stating, because a per-milligram bargain is a bargain only if you wanted the milligrams.
Questions readers ask about the two cans
Is Trip CBD approved by the FSA?
The FSA does not approve or endorse CBD drinks. It keeps a public list of CBD products linked to novel-food applications, and its own front page says the agency is not endorsing the sale of any CBD food product, on or off the list. This desk did not retrieve a per-product entry for Trip, so we make no claim either way: search the list yourself, by product name, before you buy.
How much CBD is in a Goodrays drink?
Goodrays’ own product page, read by this desk on 11 September 2026, states that one can contains 10mg of CBD and quotes the FSA’s 10mg-a-day intake figure beside it. One Northern Irish retailer’s page lists the same can at 30mg. Where a company’s page and a retailer’s listing disagree about the company’s product, we use the company’s figure and say so.
What is the strongest CBD drink in the UK?
Of the cans on the one retailer page this desk read, Little Rick’s 330ml can carries the highest stated content at 32mg, ahead of CHILL°D at 20mg, Trip at 15mg and Goodrays at 10mg on its own page. That is one stockist’s shelf, not a market survey. Note that every one of those cans except Goodrays exceeds the FSA’s 10mg-a-day figure on its own.
Do Trip CBD drinks actually work?
This desk cannot tell you, and neither can a label. Trip’s cans are marketed for calm, and users on forums report what they report; CBD drinks are sold in Britain as foods, not medicines, and as of this writing the FSA had not yet authorised any CBD extract as a novel food, let alone a health claim for one. What the label can tell you is milligrams per can and price, which is the comparison this post makes.
The honest ledger
The pharmacist’s summary, then. If you are choosing between these two on CBD content per pound, Trip’s six-pack at about 13p a milligram beats anything Goodrays sells direct, and the gap only closes if you believe a retailer’s 30mg over the company’s 10mg, which this desk does not. If you are choosing on what the seller tells you at the moment of purchase, Goodrays’ page does more: the intake figure, the advisory, the milligrams, all beside the price. What Goodrays does not do, on any page we read, is show a batch certificate or point you to the FSA’s list, and Trip’s pages could not be opened to check; those are the two things this desk would trade a few pence a milligram for.
A can of either is a soft drink with a small, labelled amount of a food supplement in it. CBD products are foods, not medicines; they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and the effects on the tin are what the brands market, not what the regulator has found. Adults only, check the register before the till, and read the milligrams before the price.
