Questions You Might Have
These gentle answers explain what juice labels mean, in clear and simple language. They’re here to help children, families, and educators understand what’s inside — one calm sip at a time.
🍊 What is juice made from?
Juice is mostly made from fruit, with natural sugars and sometimes added water. Pure fruit juice contains the liquid extracted from fresh fruit.
💧 Why is water added to some juices?
Some juices include extra water to make the flavour lighter and easier to drink. This also dilutes the natural sugar concentration and makes juice more refreshing.
🍬 Does juice contain sugar?
Yes, fruits contain natural sugars that make juice taste sweet. These are naturally occurring sugars from the fruit itself, not added sugar (unless specified on the label).
🛡️ What else might be added to juice?
Some juices have added vitamins or preservatives to help them last longer. Check labels for additional ingredients like vitamin C, preservatives, or flavourings.
🥤 What’s the difference between juice and juice drink?
100% juice contains only fruit juice, while juice drinks may contain added water, sugar, flavourings, or other ingredients.
👀 How can I tell if juice is 100% fruit?
Look for “100% fruit juice” on the label. If other ingredients are listed, it’s a juice drink.
