Sugar, sugar, water, concentrate.
Pretty standard formula.0 -
sadly yes0

This is pretty normal.0

Sounds normal to me. You want 100% juice stuff (or nothing really. Haven't had any juice in 2.5 years, I'd rather eat my calories).0

Ocean Spray makes (or used to make) a Lite version.
Lots of juices have tons of added sugar. I assume it's because it's cheaper, but have no idea why they do that.
It's too bad that we can't squeeze our own cranberries like we can with oranges and lemons.0 -
R.W. Knudson sells bottled juice that is just the juice of the fruit...no blends. They make one called Just Cranberry which is 70 cal per 8 oz glass with 9 grams of sugar..no added sugar. Cranberry juice on its own is tart. I use to have a half a glass then add in a flavored seltzer. I don't like sweet drinks myself. Last time i bought it price was $7-9 per bottle. Not cheap.0

Anything that says "juice cocktail" means it's a little juice mixed with lots of other stuff. Most national brands have versions that are called Cranberry Juice, Grape Juice, Apple Juice (not cocktail) and will usually have a burst that says 100% juice.0

Im struggling to see why this is a surprise? Presumably you dont really read labels?0

You can make cranberry water. Fresh cranberries cooked in water. Strain out berries. Add stevia as a sweetener.0

If ingredients are listed by weight, does this mean that cranberry juice is really the 2nd to last ingredient in terms of volume in a CRANBERRY PRODUCT?
it actually means there is no cranberry juice in it at all, just juice concentrate, and that when added to water (and sugar), it reconstitutes as juice.
i imagine if there was more concentrate than water and sugar, that would be like a 1500 cal can of disgusting.0 -

Ha! I am not surprised though0

Trader joe sells 100% craberry juice that's unsweetened. You get used to the tartness or you can put stevia in it.0

Most of the "berry" stuff that says "100% juice" will use a ton of apple juice as cheap filler, so you've got to read the full label. You can get actual 100% berry juice, but it costs a lot more. You're better off just getting actual fruit though, fresh or frozen.
