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 →Decode Label Analysis
The product contains an undisclosed 'Flavour', which can be problematic for individuals with sensitivities or allergies to specific flavoring compounds.
High sugar content, including added sugar and concentrated fruit juice, contributes to the overall free sugar intake.
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 label does not provide the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for adults, so the percentage cannot be verified.
Litchi Pulp is listed as an ingredient.
The product is a beverage containing fruit pulp and juice, and is ready to serve.
No preservatives are listed in the ingredients.
The energy per 100g is 54 kcal, so for a 200ml serving (assuming 200g), the energy would be 108 kcal.
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.
