Summary
This apple nectar contains concentrated apple pulp, which provides natural sugars and some nutrients, and ascorbic acid, which adds vitamin C. However, the presence of 'natural apple flavor' and cellulose gum indicates a moderate level of processing, which affects the overall score. The added sugars are within a reasonable range for a juice, but the processing level and use of flavor additives prevent a higher rating.
