Italiamo Succo di Limone (Lemon Juice from Concentrate) — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Italiamo Succo di Limone (Lemon Juice from Concentrate) by Italiamo OKAY — score 60/90.
Almost entirely lemon juice from concentrate with just a vitamin C antioxidant and a sulfite preservative. Simple and low-additive, but reconstituted-from-concentrate and the sulfite keep it from being truly clean.
Why this verdict
- Nearly pure lemon juice (99.88%) with no added sugar, oil, or flavors
- Only additive of note is potassium metabisulfite, a sulfite preservative some people react to
- Reconstituted from concentrate rather than fresh-pressed
- Ascorbic acid is just added vitamin C, not a red flag
Ingredients (3)
- Lemon juice from concentrate (99.88%) (safe) — Reconstituted lemon juice. Naturally acidic, vitamin-C-bearing, no added sugar. Wholesome but not fresh-squeezed.
- Ascorbic acid (antioxidant) (safe) — Vitamin C used to control curing reactions — benign.
- Potassium metabisulfite (preservative, contains sulfites) (moderate) — Sulfite preservative (E224). Safe for most, but triggers reactions in sulfite-sensitive and asthmatic individuals; a required allergen declaration.
