100% Apple Juice — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates 100% Apple Juice by Signature SELECT OKAY — score 70/90.

This is genuinely 100% juice - just apple juice reconstituted from concentrate with a little vitamin C, no added sugar. The catch is that juice is fruit with the fiber removed, so at roughly 12g sugar per 100g it hits your blood sugar fast. Clean list, but drink it in a small glass, not by the liter.

Why this verdict

• 100% juice with no added sugar - three clean ingredients
• Fiber is stripped out, so all ~12g/100g of sugar is fast-absorbing
• Reconstituted from concentrate rather than fresh-pressed
• Added vitamin C is a minor nutritional plus

Ingredients (3)

• Water (safe) — Packing liquid. No concern.
• APPLE JUICE CONCENTRATE (moderate) — 100% fruit, but a concentrated sugar source with the fiber removed.
• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) (safe) — Added vitamin C; also helps preserve color and flavor.
