Apologies – I was looking at the 100% PURE Juice products.

I just checked for two separate Capri Sun 100% Juice drinks (Apple and Orange) and the only ingredients they have listed is Apple (or Orange) Juice from Concentrate.

I’m in the UK, maybe it’s different there, but it’s definitely illegal not to list all ingredients.

I enjoyed the article immensely, but just for the record- grapes *are* berries. They just don’t have ‘berry’ in their name.

The entire purpose of advertising is to claim people’s attention.
By advertising the way they do, they hope to gain a wider scope of buyers. Therefore, what they put in bigger font is the most misleading information. Given that 100% Juice is actually a lie, for anyone that went through elementary education knows that ‘mathematical’ 100% is truly 100%. That is already accepted as ‘bending the truth’.
No one claimed it was false advertising.
In fact, this article is to bring awareness to those who actually do care about exactly what they or their children are ingesting. It completes its purpose quite well, and certainly does not fall under being a ‘rant’.

In fact, I came upon this article after seeing the commercial and thinking that it was quite odd, considering Capri Sun defiantly does not have a reputation for creating ‘healthy’ products. Upon further inspection, I did see that they have not managed to reach a certain quality which is slightly implied. Not that I’m saying they’re low quality, just not what I, personally, believe ‘healthy’ enough.

I am staring at an empty Tropical Morning pouch as I type this. It does say “Tropical Punch Flavored Juice Blend” and right below that is “From concentrate with other natural flavor” No false advertising there.

In fact, the box is not misleading at all. Sure, there are fruits on the box and packaging, but I have seen plenty of gum with pictures of fruit and you do not expect to get a full serving out of it. There is nothing to warrant a rant like this. I do not believe they are misleading at all, I believe they are marketing an alternative. Some kids do not like your plain old juices… and it is better than handing your kid a soda.

Good point, Ronald. Juice blend is more accurate. To the typical consumer, 100% juice would be interpreted as the product is only the juice of the fruit indicated and nothing else — other juices or additives.

I agreed if the product doesn’t have 100% in it it should claim 100%. For example if a product have several juices mixed with it it shouldn’t be able to claim its a grape juice when it has cherry juice,apple juice grape juice. It should say juice blend. IMO
