& shy; “sugar-free” “0 energy” “natural juice” “protein-containing”…… These concepts on beverage labels are dazzling. There is news on the Internet that most of these juice drinks are gimmicks, and some of them are not worthy of the name. For example, 100% juice is not equal to 100% original juice-making, in fact, it is still juice concentrated solution mixed with water. The reporter visited the brand juice drinks sold in Fuzhou supermarket and found that the real juice content in these drinks was confusing.
& shy; Many consumers find that many drinks are marked with “100% juice” or “pure fruit juice” in the packaging, but look carefully at the ingredient list, it is found that the above are basically concentrated juice of some kind of fruit. The Consumer Association Department said that the exact name of this kind of juice should be “restoring juice”, which is to remove a certain proportion of water from the juice first and turn it into concentrated juice for easy storage and transportation, then add a proper amount of water to restore it to a drink with the same proportion as the original juice. Generally speaking, it is the juice which is reduced by concentrated juice and water.
& shy; The reporter visited and saw that there are many concepts of labels of bottled juice drinks sold in Fuzhou. Among them, there are many words such as “100% juice” and “pure fruit juice” on the package. But the reporter found that these drinks were actually not 100% of the original juice-making. The actual content of the original juice-making is very different. Some nominal juice content is not less than 10%, some nominal juice content is not less than 15%, and the most is called juice content above 30%. In addition, the actual original juice-making content of a brand beverage claiming “100% juice” is only above 10%. The reporter found that these drinks did not mark the specific juice content, but the content was only a vague range. (Reporter Li Yonghua)
