Other stuff in “100% juice”:
Not-from-concentrate orange juice contains “flavor packets” that are chemicals derived from orange byproducts and are not listed on the label. This is because not-from-concentrate orange juice loses its flavor in storage.
“100% juices” like Juicy Juice are made with a corn-syrup-like sweetener derived from junk juices (apple, grape and pear), then flavoring is added. The juice syrup is not listed on the label as such. That is how Juicy Juice can taste like “Kiwi-Strawberry” when the first ingredient is Apple juice. If the juice contains “natural flavors” then it is adulterated.
” If the juice contains “natural flavors” then it is adulterated.”
If it was adulterated “within the law,” wouldn’t the FDA have shut them down, UnwashedPeasant?
I read that story. Those "chemicals" are nothing that is not present in the orange to begin with. It is just the oils of the orange distilled and fractionated to stabilize them and maintain their flavor. No chemicals are created that do not exist in fresh oranges.
