Tag: Non concentrate juice

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a juice can be labeled as "100% juice from concentrate" as long as the water removed during processing is fully restored. The key differences between concentrate and non-concentrate juice lie in their processing, taste, and nutritional profiles, which directly impact a consumer's purchasing decision.

A study on orange juice found that not-from-concentrate juice can contain significantly more Vitamin C and folate than juice from concentrate. Is concentrate or non-concentrate truly healthier? It comes down to more than just the label, including processing methods and what, if anything, is added back in before bottling.
