Reviewed 2 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This beverage is primarily composed of water and sugar, with only trace amounts of fruit juice concentrates. While it contains common food additives like acidity regulators, stabilizers, and an antioxidant, the main concern for regular consumption is its high sugar content. The 'Flavours (Nature-Identical and Natural Flavouring Substances)' indicate a blend of flavourings, which is a common practice in the food industry. Individuals monitoring their sugar intake, especially children, should be mindful of this product's sugar profile.

Fruit Juice Concentrate
Fruit-juice concentrate is fruit juice with the water removed, leaving concentrated sugars (largely fructose and glucose). Nutritionally it behaves as a free sugar and is frequently used to sweeten products that market themselves as having "no added sugar". The WHO recommends no free sugars for infants and young children, so it is a particular concern in foods aimed at babies and toddlers.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO Guideline: Sugars intake (2015); WHO Ending inappropriate promotion of foods for infants
Fruit Juice Concentrate: regulation, sources and other products →Added Sugars
Sugars added to food, and the sugars in honey, syrups and fruit juice concentrates, are "free sugars". The WHO guideline recommends that they stay below 10% of total energy intake and suggests below 5% for additional benefit. Where the sugar sits in the ingredient list and how many grams the panel declares is what matters; this is information, because the nutrition score already prices the grams.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: WHO, Guideline: Sugars intake for adults and children (2015)
Added Sugars: regulation, sources and other products →Flavouring Substances
Indian rules classify added flavours as natural, nature-identical (chemically synthesised copies of natural compounds) or artificial, and require the class to be declared. The label names the class, not the compounds, so a reader cannot see which substances make up the blend, or whether it carries something they avoid. This is information about transparency, not a finding of harm.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSS (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations 2011, flavours; FSS (Labelling and Display) Regulations 2020
Flavouring Substances: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
Fruit Juice Concentrate is a source of free sugars, as defined by WHO guidelines, and contributes to the overall sugar content of the product. High intake of free sugars is associated with increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dental caries.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
The term 'Juicier Drink' is a subjective marketing claim that cannot be objectively verified from the provided ingredient list or nutrition information.
The ingredient list includes orange juice concentrate, which supports the 'Pulpy Orange' claim.
The product is presented as a beverage containing fruit concentrates (apple, mango, orange) and is ready to serve, which aligns with the claim.
Read straight from the back-of-pack photo — quantities, sections and any disguised terms, so the small print can’t hide behind the marketing.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
