THE JUICE AISLE — Juice looks healthy. The label tells the truth.

Fruit juice gets a free pass in most trolleys — no wrapper, no chocolate, must be fine. We checked the labels on seven supermarket juices and juice drinks so you don't have to. Worst first, best last. Let's go.

No 7 — AVOID — Innocent Smoothie carton hides seven and a half teaspoons

A 250 millilitre carton of a mixed fruit smoothie like Innocent typically carries around thirty grams of sugar — that's seven and a half teaspoons, all naturally occurring from blended whole fruit, but your body doesn't know the difference between that and a can of cola.

No 6 — AVOID — J2O bottle pours out about seven teaspoons

A 275 millilitre bottle of a fruit juice drink like J2O typically holds around twenty-nine grams of sugar — roughly seven teaspoons. It's marketed as a grown-up soft drink, and sugar-wise, that's exactly what it is.

No 5 — AVOID — Ribena carton lands six teaspoons in one go

A 250 millilitre ready-to-drink carton of original Ribena typically contains around twenty-four grams of sugar — six teaspoons. It's the blackcurrant hit generations grew up on, and it's sweeter than most people clock.

No 4 — MIDDLE — Copella apple juice sits at five teaspoons

A 200 millilitre glass of pressed apple juice like Copella typically has around twenty grams of sugar — five teaspoons. No added sugar needed here — apples do it all by themselves.

No 3 — MIDDLE — Tropicana orange juice comes in around four teaspoons

A 200 millilitre glass of orange juice like Tropicana typically carries around seventeen grams of sugar — about four teaspoons. Vitamin C, yes. Sugar-free, no. Fine as part of breakfast, not a top-up drink all day.

No 2 — MIDDLE — Capri-Sun no added sugar pouch is about three teaspoons

A 200 millilitre no added sugar pouch like Capri-Sun typically holds around eleven grams of sugar — about three teaspoons, from the fruit itself. Lower than the classic version, still worth knowing before it goes in the lunchbox.

No 1 — SAFE BUY — Robinsons no added sugar squash barely registers

A 250 millilitre glass of diluted no added sugar squash like Robinsons typically contains less than a gram of sugar — a fraction of a teaspoon. Mostly water and flavour. This is what genuinely low actually looks like.
