About Juices
Fruit juice products are defined and regulated differently across regions, with standards that determine how terms such as ‘juice’, ‘nectar’, and ‘juice drink’ may be used on product labels.
In general, ‘100% fruit juice’ refers to products made entirely from fruit, while juices made from concentrate are also commonly labelled as juice depending on regional regulations. Products labelled as ‘nectar’ typically contain a lower percentage of fruit content and may include water or sweeteners.
Across different countries, including the UK, USA, Australia, and New Zealand, labelling standards vary, particularly in the use of terms such as ‘juice drink’ and ‘nectar’, as well as how added sugars and concentrates must be declared on packaging.
Consumers are encouraged to check product labels for accurate ingredient and nutritional information, as fruit content and sugar levels may vary between products.”
